"uncouple" data from chart suggestions
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:21:51 UTC
could you make it possible to "entkoppeln" (german) source data for chart from chart, so that I can for example delete the source data, but the chart remains unchanged. That's needed when only chart is relevant and not data "character" values. Setting cell with data to "not to print" (cell object properties) is not a workaround, because i) one shares doc.s also electronically and not only uses calc as preparation for print-outs. ii) there is a "defect" associated with "un-printed" cells, making this "workaround" lead the user to reorganise cells in a peculiar way to get the impression one wants. (issue 6309) Then still retain the possibility to change chart data by having a context menu entry "change source data" or sth similar (or the icon, if available correctly (see issue 6302)) which makes a window pop up in which the source data values are and can be edited. Thanks, Lars
I take it
Hi Lars, clear answer No, if you mean Chart in Calc. To achieve something like this, create a chart in Calc, place it in the clipboard, paste it into a draw and copy it again. Now oaste it into your spreadsheet. The chart data get it's own data container and the chart data dialog is available. And no we do not implement it, as this was a bugfix. Please have a look at : http://graphics.openoffice.org/chart/chart.html Frank
