Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 82905
Error margins from invalid data gives wild results
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:21:33 UTC
Using OOo 2.3 as shipped with Ubunut gutsy. Steps to take. Make a small sample of data with x-labels and y-labels in talble. Include and extra row of data such as a title row for the table. Highlight the table including the title row. Start the chart wizard and make a simple column chart. When it's finished and you are out of the chart wizard. Highlight the chart so that the insert menu shows the statistics menu item. Open that and choose the error margin radio button. Now finish the chart and see the lines. Now I realise that the initial fault is with the data, obviously the data includes too many lines, the title row should be left out. But if I use any of the other error bar types this problem does not show up. So in my total ignorance I suggest that some error trapping mechanism isn't working in this one case. Shelagh

wrong component, changed to Chart and re-assigned
Confirmed. Looks like there is missing a check for valid data. Thanks for the report.
Created attachment 49106 [details] example doc
Fixed in CWS chart15.
->Thomas, please verify in CWS chart15. Load the attached bug doc and double click on the charts to see the corrected view. (Just to avoid confusion: To create a new persistent replacement image you need to modify the chart. Otherwise the old replacement image is shown again when leaving the edit mode.)
added me to CC
Verified (only the part Error margins from invalid data gives wild results) As described : "To create a new persistent replacement image you need to modify the chart. Otherwise the old replacement image is shown again when leaving the edit mode." is only for the win Version given, the new replacement image are shown without modify in Linux Version. A separate issue will deal with it.
seen ok in current master -> closed
