Sorry, I am missing the import of your statement:
"For accessibility purposes it is not sufficient to read out the data of
one entire table."
I agree with your statements about pointing to cell ranges but don't
know how that affects accessibility?
Can you clarify the accessibility aspects of addressing multiple
cell-ranges for a chart?
Thanks!
Hope you are having a great day!
