[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 118887] New: LibreOffice CALC NON-Compatibility IMPROVEMENT

[b***@bugs.documentfoundation.org]

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118887

Bug ID: 118887
Summary: LibreOffice CALC NON-Compatibility IMPROVEMENT
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-***@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ***@msn.com

Description:
Hi, my "test" spreadsheet for compatibility is direct from Microsoft, not new
at all, and only WPS Office (Kingsoft) is compatible with it. It is a great
template called "Retirement Financial Planner" and is available at this link
from Microsoft:
https://templates.office.com/en-us/Retirement-financial-planner-TM04022385
I recommend you open and enter data in MS Office Excel, then open in Libre 

you'll see that the graph just doesn't work. This is a many YEARS old
NON-compatibility problem.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the MS template in MS Office and enter data and see how the graph
responds
2. Save, then open in LibreOffice Calc and see how it is useless.
3. Fix LibreOffice Calc and perhaps even solve OTHER similar compatibility
issues!


Actual Results:
Graph doesn't respond, spreadsheet doesn't look like it should. WPS Office
(Kingsoft) on the other hand, DOES work and look very much the same. I would
RATHER use LibreOffice though!

Expected Results:
Use of spreadsheet.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

--- Comment #1 from Julien Nabet <***@yahoo.fr> ---
A bugtracker must concerns one specific point, you can't tell: "open this file
and fix all the differences you see with MsOffice".

As you may already know, there are quite a lot of bugtrackers for LO and many
concern compatibility.

If it was depending only on me, I put this one as INVALID. Now I'll let QA
member speak.

Combo chart in MSO

Bug report is (wrongly but expectedly from 1st time reporter) document-based.
Yet it's valid because Calc can't preview Excel's combo chart.
Lets' turn this to "Read Combo chart from XLSX". LO will first have to support
that feature itself. That's somewhat requested in Bug 97834.

Let's keep original MSO XLTX here.

tf04022385 without named ranges

"I cannot open this file" really makes a lot of triage work..
Imported chart looks empty because the file uses named cell ranges and they are
not imported in charts (bug 64086) and the reason is they are not supported in
LO (bug 6250).
The file also has combo chart that's not read properly from LO. One can see
that if we replace named ranges with cell references, as in attached other
file.
Creating combo charts in LO is another issue. This bug is about proper reading
of here attached file (without named ranges).
