Chart displayed doesn't match DOCX spec

Question

Hi;

Please take a look at the bar chart in http://www.windwardreports.com/temp/Northwind_Products.docx (and you can copy & paste it to Excel and see the same problem). The X & Y axis appear to be fine. But where are the values in the legend coming from? I think it should be aa as that is the name for the series for all data.

25250 is the number for 7/4/1996 which is the X value ofr all datapoints. But where does 35251, ... come from? That value does not exist anywhere in chart2.xml.

??? - thanks - dave

Dave,

I am the engineer who has taken ownership of your issue. I am currently investigating this and will update you as things progress.

Answer 3

Dave,
 
The information you request is implementation specific and is thus considered
out-of-scope of the documentation.
 
The chart in question has a large number of datapoints, all of which have the same
x value (35250). The chart in question was made specifically to chart a series of data, so
having all of the datapoints with the same x value does not fit the chart in question.
 
The legend in question is assuming the data series will progress along the x axis, therefore
the lenged is set up with ten values incremented monitonically along the x axis beginning
with the first data value in the series.

Answer 4

Hi King;

I'll buy that as implementation specific. Weird way to do it but 1 X value is rare (we have beta users of our B.I. product doing this on ad-hoc queries). We'll just tell tham that it's Office.

thanks - dave
