Re: [office] Fw: Proposal: Add multiple cell ranges support to Data Pilot

Hello Kohei,



Changing the existing table:cell-range-address attribute to allow a list of cell range addresses seems not appropriate because "cell-range-address" is just a single range, and can not contain the meaning of multiple ranges. But based on your idea, I can suggest 2 options for this proposal:



Option 1: define <table:table-source-cell-ranges> which contains more than one child element <table:table-source-cell-range>. The schema looks like:
 <define name="table-source-cell-ranges"> 

        <element name="table:source-cell-ranges"> 

			<oneOrMore>

				<ref name=table-source-cell-range>

			</oneOrMore>

        </element> 

 </define> 




Option 2: use the existing attribute <table-source-cell-range-addresses> (draft 7.v2, 18.963 ) to define the element <table:table-source-cell-ranges>. The schema looks like:
<define name="table-source-cell-ranges"> 

         <element name="table:source-cell-ranges"> 

                 <ref name="table-source-cell-ranges-attlist"/> 

                 <optional> 

                         <ref name="table-filter"/> 

                 </optional> 

         </element> 

</define> 

<--Sure, table-source-cell-ranges-attlist is not existed in the current spec, this proposal need to define it:-->



<define name="table-source-cell-ranges-attlist" combine="interleave">

	<attribute name="table:source-cell-range-addresses">	

		<ref name="cellRangeAddressList"/>

	</attribute>

</define>

I don't see the definition of table-source-cell-ranges-attlist.  I

believe that's an accidental omission.



More importantly, if we can change the existing table:cell-range-address

attribute to allow a list of cell range addresses, instead of just one

cell range like it currently allows, then we won't need to introduce a

new element to define multiple source ranges.  I personally like that

approach better because if we allow both <table:source-cell-range> and

<table:source-cell-ranges> as child elements of

<table:data-pilot-table>, then we would need to specify a desired

behavior if both <table:source-cell-range> and

<table:source-cell-ranges> are given.  IMO limiting to just allowing one

of these elements, instead of allowing both would be a better approach.



What are your thoughts on these points?
