Re: [libreoffice-users] Loosing chart on exporting ods to xls

Reading the thread again I understand
Vytas' problem is that he loost the chart completely. I did not loose the chart by converting from 
ods to xls but lost the functionality. This means I could not change in the xls chart and could not 
change layout of the chart in the xls version

I feel it would make LO Calc more attractive to new users if the chart functionalities of ods could 
all be converted into xls or even better into xlsx.
