Description joolsr 2006-01-15 01:22:08 UTC 
In MS excel the attached spreadsheet shows the same Legend Entry on both graphs.
On OO2.0.1. back to 1.1 series, only the first chart shows the legend correctly.
The second graph just refers to Column D and Column E instead.

To maintain better compatibility the chart should also derive the legend label
for the second graph.
This has been confirmed on both Linux and Windows ports.

We wish to migrate 30 pc's with Excel to OO2. We have approx 1000 XLS files that
have the above problem. It is the one last bug that stops perfect reading of
these files in OpenOffice2.

I hope that we can resolve thsi one quickly. I apologise that I cannot actually
specify the specific cause of the error. But it is always consistant ..

confirmed on Windows XP Pro SP2 with OOo 2.0.1; additionally the legends aren't 
displayed at the same position as in Excel and the doument modified flag is 
being set upon opening.

Something went wrong with the legend after import.
Comment 5 daniel.rentz 2006-01-31 15:55:27 UTC 
second chart uses a complex source range, that is currently not supported. While 
the data is in columns D and E, the series titles (shown in the legend) come from 
columns B and C. In the first chart, both the series title and the values are in the 
same column.

Workaround: Change series titles in the second chart to cell D2 and E2.

Will be fixed in the new chart implementation (currently targeted to OOo 3.0) 
together with correct placement of the legends.
