Kohei Yoshida commented on OFFICE-3665:
---------------------------------------

Here is the proposed change in the schema.

Remove the following current definition

<define name="table-source-cell-range-attlist" combine="interleave">
    <attribute name="table:cell-range-address">
        <ref name="cellRangeAddress"/>
    </attribute>
</define>

with the following new definition.

<define name="table-source-cell-range-attlist" combine="interleave">
    <choice>
        <attribute name="table:cell-range-address">
            <ref name="cellRangeAddress"/>
        </attribute>
        <group>
            <attribute name="table:name">    
                <ref name="string"/>
            </attribute>
            <optional>
                <attribute name="table:cell-range-address">
                    <ref name="cellRangeAddress"/>
                </attribute>
            </optional>
        </group>
    </choice>
</define>

The new schema allows the <table:source-cell-range> to have either

1) the table:cell-range-address attribute, or
2) the table:name attribute and optionally the table:cell-range-address attribute.

The optional table:cell-range-address is intended for backword compatibility, but the application should not be required to have this attribute when the table:name attribute is present.

>
> Currently, a data pilot table data specifies its source data cell range via <table:source-cell-range> element.  This element has the table:cell-range-address attribute to specify the range.
> The new feature being proposed herein will allow specifying the source data by textural name, which corresponds with the name of a named range defined by the table:named-range element.  Such name shall be given in the table:name attribute of the <table:source-cell-range> element.
> The precondition is that the document contains a named range whose name equals the name specified in the <table:source-cell-range> element.
> Example:
> <table:named-expressions>
>     <table:named-range table:name="MyData" table:base-cell-address="$Data.$B$4" table:cell-range-address="$Data.$A$1:.$B$4"/>
> </table:named-expressions>
> <table:data-pilot-tables>
>     <table:data-pilot-table table:name="DataPilot1">
>         <table:source-cell-range table:name="MyData"/>
>         ....
>     </table:data-pilot-table>
> </table:data-pilot-tables>
