Re: [libreoffice-users] Pivottable/Chart Compatibility in Calc 3.6 with Excel 2002

Hi :)
Were you able to resolve this issue?  Did you get any decent answers from the Users List?  If not 
then it might be good to ask again now.  Sometimes people just need time to mull over questions but 
by then they have forgotten what they were mulling over as there are constant distractions.  Also 
new people join the lists all the time and everyone has different experience in different areas.
Regards from
Tom :)
