How to insert a chart on Writer with values from Calc

Post by AZL »

Hi

I need to make a Writer document with a lot of charts; charts use values that are on a Calc document; I need that Writer document update when values on Calc change.

I tried to copy a chart on Calc and Paste it on Writer; seems OK but graph doesn't update when Calc values change.
I tried to insert a new graph on Writer and connect the values table with Calc; not possible,
I tried to insert graph as a OLE object; I can only choose file to embeed; I can't choose charts one by one and results are not so good.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Best Regards

Same problem here!

The best option for me would be to use
Insert>Object>OLE Object>Calc spreadsheet, Link, and then for it to allow to specify the cell range visible. Documentation only says: "A section of the inserted file is shown in the document". Interestingly this section (cell range) does change sometimes I've observed, but I haven't been able to figure out what controls it.

Does anyone know? Thanks!
