Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 21880
1-click chart creation
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:15:02 UTC
I find that creating charts in Calc requires too many unnecessary keystrokes/ mouse-clicks: Click insert object, then graph, then select the location of the graph and then the graph itself. On the other hand, Excel has a button for charts on the toolbars. It also has a shortcut, F11, to create a default graph. So, if the user selects some cells and presses F11, Excel plots a graph with default properties. I think this is a very useful feature in Excel and should be introduced in Calc as soon as possible.

Hi Bettina, 1 4 u Frank PS I don't think so.
Hello magrawal, the product concept document (PCD-ID 20344) covers this problem, there you find the planned changes for creating a chart. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 20344 ***
