Re: [office] Proposal discussion: Add multiple cell ranges support to DataPilot

Hi Kohei,

I think your suggestion makes sense.
I have added the corresponding description into the backwards compatibility
section of my proposal, http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/Add_multiple_cell_ranges_support_to_Data_Pilot.
Thanks.

 

Best Regards,

Helen Yue

I just wanted to say that the proposal looks reasonable to me.

One thing I would consider changing is, for backward compatibility with

pre-1.2 processors, we should definitely keep the

table:source-cell-range attribute even if the table:source-cell-ranges

attribute is preferred for 1.2 and above.

So for instance, if only one cell range is specified, the 1.2 processor

should put that range in both table:source-cell-range and

table:source-cell-ranges attributes.  And if there are multiple cell

ranges specified, put the range that is considered most representative

(or simply just the first range of the range set) to the

table:source-cell-range so that the older processors can at least load

something.

Also, is there any constraints on the geometry of the cell ranges?  For

example, do all the cell ranges have to have the same width, or can the

widths of ranges be different?  Also, when the field names are given
in

the first row of each cell range, do they have to match for all the cell

ranges?  I'm just trying to picture how those multiple ranges are
merged

into one data set.

Thanks, and sorry about the last reply.

Kohei
