Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 72320
Wrong standard deviation for error indicator on charts
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:20:29 UTC
When user wants to display the error indicator on a chart (Statistics tab) with the Standard deviation : - the calculated standard deviation is calculated with STDEVP instead of STDEV - the error indicator is centered on each value, it should be centered on the mean value only. See attachment. MS Excel chart is fine, OOo chart is wrong.
Created attachment 41165 [details] Comparison between OOo and MS Excel charts
wrong component, changed to Chart
Although there are two points described, I will take the first (one problem, one Issue). Duplicate of Issue 66788 "Error bars: Standard deviation based on sample". Please add your comments and votes to that Issue. Cheers, Andrew *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 66788 ***
Closing duplicate.
I was reading this bug report again and I don't understand why you closed the bug. You say there are 2 issues but : - If the 1st one is handled by issue 66788, why not keeping this bug for the second one (never reported it seems) ??? - Both issues are related to the graphical representation of the standard deviation (no indication of the method used in the tab). Please confirm if I have to open a new bug for the second issue. Rather strange to close this one to open another just after.
Well, just remembered I'd already filed the requested bug. Sorry.
@hagar: as ace_dent has written, he take the first issue and this one is a double. That is absolutely correct. (Thx ace_dent) See: http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/basic_rules.html Also your summary doesn't match for the second issue. Pls submit for the second part a separate Issue with a correct summary. I will close this issue again. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 66788 ***
