Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 96171
DataPilot: Grouping breaks "Identify Categories"
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:14:39 UTC
If you group any cells in a column or row of a pivot table, the "Identify Categories" option stops working. After this happens, I cannot find a way to get "Identify Categories" to start working again short of deleting the pivot table, creating a new one, and not grouping any fields.
Created attachment 57955 [details] Sample of information to reproduce "Identify Categories" error
I forgot to mention that this problem is specific to Open Office 3.0, as I had no problems with Open Office 2.4. I have attached a sample file to this bug to allow you to easily reproduce the issue. Please do the following: 1. Open the attached file 2. Select the A1 cell 3. Select Data -> DataPilot -> Start... 4. Select "Current selection" and click OK 5. Drag "Debits" into the Data Fields, and drag "Payer/Payee" into the Row Fields 6. Click More, and place a check in the "Identify Categories" check box. 7. Click OK to create the DataPilot table. Scroll down to A109 to view the table. 8. Notice that there are no rows marked as "(empty)". 9. Highlight the "Finance Charge" and "Late Fee" cells. 10. Select Data -> Group and Outline -> Group Notice that a new row labeled "(empty)" will appear. This represent the rows who's categories should be recognized by "Identify Categories", but aren't.
Can confirm with OOO300m9. Is fine with OOo 2.4.0 --> regression
CC: kohei Do you wanna have a look?
yeeees, I guess this is my territory. Grouping is really a tricky beast in the DataPilot implementation...
accepting it & filed downstream to keep better track.
Created attachment 58558 [details] patch to fix this
It was luckily a very simple oversight & was very simple to fix. Now, do we have an open CWS that we can commit this patch to, or do I need to create a new CWS for this small patch...?
setting target to 3.1.
fixed in kohei02 cws.
verified in DEV300_m38.
verified, fixed --> closed.
Are you sure this is really verified? This is fixed in kohei02 cws, but that cws hasn't been integrated yet.
setting it to fixed again (in kohei02 cws), but as of today, it hasn't been integrated.
reassigning to Mick for QA.
Wait! Measure values (from data fields) must not be repeated.
Can you be more specific?
Created attachment 59188 [details] test case for not identifying categories for data fields
@nn: I hope I'm interpreting your comment correctly. That should be easy to fix.
Created attachment 59194 [details] a little more complex test case
re-opening, to fix the data field issue.
fixed once again. Now the 'Identify category' option is applied only on column, row, and page fields, but not data fields. This applies when computing the result data as well as inserting a drill-down data sheet.
Successfully test on following builds: OpenSuse11.1: OOo3.1.0-090106.i586.rpm Windows XP3: Win-XP2-549-kohei02.exe
Kohei, yes, that's what I meant. Seems right now.
assigned to the wrong guy. Mick's alias is kenyu, not kyu. :-(
Checked in OOO310m9 (Build 9396), Windows XP. Fixed. Can be closed
