GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 616262
XLS: chart titles are missing
Last modified: 2010-04-22 08:39:49 UTC
In attached document Gnumeric doesn't display titles in charts. Also, it contains links to cells from another file, and Gnumeric displays them as links to the same file, which is misleading. Without Excel, you can open this file in OpenOffice.org Calc to see how it should look. Also, some points in the document have labels (don't know, if Gnumeric support them at all)
Created attachment 159143 [details] File which is imported incorrectly
I confirm the titles issue. For the external links, please file another bug report, this is unrelated. Gnumeric does not support data labels in charts for now. This is #164484. It is high in my priorities, but time is somehow missing.
I do not understand the contents of this file. It has chart titles, but they seem empty. What did generate that?
They are not empty. Did you open it in OOo of Excel?
I did open with OOo, but still there is no data. Looks like there is a default behavior which consts to use the series label in that case. I need to experiment with xl, but no chance this occurs before next week.
Original document has chart titles such as 'C2=2C', 'C2H6=2C+6H' etc. OOo 3.1.1 shows them.
Yes, I see that too, but the data associated in the file with the title has 0 length.
Djusting the tielt since the link issue was also viled as bug #616378.
Apparently I can't type or spell or read. The last comment was supposed to be: Adjusting the title since the link issue was also filed as bug #616378.
Konstantin, please answer answer the question from Comment #9: Which program generated this file initially?
Some more observation: If you open the file with OOo, save it again as an xls file, and then open it in gnumeric the titles are present.
It was generated by Excel
Found after testing with a few xls samples that Excel automagically uses the unique series label as title. This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
It works, thanks!
