[Bug 124271] New: Bug or missing feature? Impossibility of linking chart titles or axis names with cell contents.

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124271

            Bug ID: 124271
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Bug or missing feature? Impossibility of linking chart
                    titles or axis names with cell contents.
           Product: Calc
           Version: 4.1.0-dev
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: code
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: oleaga_jp@hotmail.com
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org

Created attachment 82640
  --> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=82640&action=edit
concept book to see how I used to do multilingual sheets in MS-EXCEL

Bug or missing feature?

I do not know if this is a bug or a missing feature; but when reading
spreadsheets written with MS-EXCEL if there are charts whose titles and axis
names depend on the contents of some cells  AOO reads the present content of
the cells, but it does not actualize the title and the axis names when the
cells content changes.

I have found that feature extremely valuable when trying to write multilingual
spreadsheets (spreadsheets whose all contents appear on the language that you
choose among the ones available for that spreadsheet) but I have not found the
way to actualize the titles and axis names in AOO 4.0.1 or AOO 4.1.0

I attach a concept file to show how I used to work on MS-EXCEL.

If this feature is not available in AOO 4.1.0, is it going to be available in a
near future?

Yes, the new sample shows the difference:

(a) modifying Number in C10 
(a1) In AOO changes texts in column headings and so in Legend
     Title stays as it was, is static text
(a2) In Excel also contents of Title changes language, because Title will be
     created form contents of A13 
(b) I don't know whether this one has ODF impact.

The charts in the Excel file I sent do not have axes; but, as I said in my
first comment, with the chart axis names in other kinds of charts there is the
same problem.

I do not know if you should take that into account to determine what to do.

A related report is "LibO#56303 - Allow Formula in Chart Title"

Some explications to the requirements:
<http://www.mrexcel.com/archive/Chart/8071.html>
<http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/add-a-chart-title-HA102809718.aspx>
<http://www.accountingweb.com/article/automating-excel-chart-titles/219390>

I often wished OOo should have this feature, we never had it.

A cell as source is valid, but not implemented. :(

Do we know if this issue is going to be solved for the 4.2.0 version of
OenOffice?

It depends on it the use of OpenOffice or MS-Office in my implementation of
multilingual spreadsheets.

Created attachment 82641
  --> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=82641&action=edit
EXCEL file with chart titles linked to cells

I think this is an original EXCEL file (Not read with AOO and rewritten
afterwards) but I am not sure because nowadays I do not have EXCEL on my PC.

The language should be changed in the C10 cell of the RES1 spreadsheet.
