. added keyword Q-PCD Title changed to something more meaningful. according to http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=7690 this issue will be set to OOoLater *** Issue 34838 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 35123 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** Due to technical reasons we are not able to implement this feature. The OASIS Open Document format was just standardized. The format for charts that have their own data is specified that this data is listed in a single <table:table> element that contains the data inside the <chart:chart> element of the chart object. Thus we are limited to a single spreadsheet. Furthermore there is no component that exports spreadsheets into an existing XML document as sub-element. And finally the import of OOo 2.0 can only handle tables where the data is present in a contiguous block starting at cell A1, i.e. documents not conforming to this would loose data. The idea of using Calc was to get a powerful data editor with only little effort. The current situation, however, requires that we put effort in reducing the power of this data editor (allow only one sheet, disable embedded objects, disable any formatting, and probably also formulas, because this would get lost in the round-trip with OOo 2.0), and in writing components that can transform the spreadsheets in a conforming format. As a result we get a data editor with little more power than the old one with a big effort. Additional Remark: We haven't found a suitable way to use a hybrid solution, i.e., export the data in the usual way, plus exporting a spreadsheet as an additional embedded object. The main problem is to synchronize this data. closed *** Issue 110617 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** |
