I’m using LibreOffice Calc Version: 4.2.4.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.1
I’m seeing unexpected behavior from the application but I’m not sure if I’m doing things right, so I’m not sure whether it’s a bug.
Action taken:
Open Libreoffice Calc
Paste data into spreadsheet, creating a simple two column, 16 line table with labels on top
(image 1)
Move mouse to the top of the screen to get file,edit… help menu
select insert–>object–>chart
select line chart
select “lines only” style
Click “Finish”. A new chart is created

Right click chart. Click “data ranges” from the menu.

Click “Add”. A new series is created.
Click “Select data range” button beside text entry box under “Range for Name”
Select a label as the series name from the table by clicking.
The data series is named.
Click “Y values” under “data ranges” list of dataset attributes.
