Do not show the correct content of the pptx file.
In the attachment, the SALES.pptx is the file to be opened, the correct.jpg show the correct content of the file opened by MS-office program, the uncorrect.jpg show the uncorrect contect of the file opened by Impress with the version of 4.1.0.

I've replicated this issue in 4.2.0 AOO420m1(Build:9800) Rev.1635806.

I opened the pptx in MS PowerPoint first and can see that the presentation contains 1 slide with an embedded chart. In PP I can right-click and edit the data.

Then I opened the file in OO (Using File>Open) when the presentation opens in Impress you only see the blank chart. When I right click the chart and select Chart Data Table it is blank.

After a quick google search I believe this is a duplicate of 115820?

I've done some further investigation and here are my findings:
#My config:
Windows 8.1
MS office 2013
OO 4.2.0

Steps:
1. Create a new presentation in MS PP 2013 and add 1 blank slide
2. Insert a chart (I selected a line graph and used the default dataset)
3. Saved file as ChartTest1.pptx
4. Then saved file as ChartTest2.ppt (I get a compatibility warning)
5. Then saved file as ChartTest3.odp (I get a different compatibility message)
6. Open Impress and then Open ChartTest1.pptx with file>open - 
#A Blank chart is displayed without data
7. Open ChartTest2.ppt with File>open 
#The chart is displayed with the data I expected from PP. 
#It is harder to select the chart in this file. I manage to find the outline and can then click edit. This behaves differently to the pptx file (it launches Excel). Does OO see this as an embedded object or a chart? 
#I am able to change the data set and save which is reflected in the chart displayed in Impress
8. Open ChartTest3.odp with File>Open
#The chart is displayed with the data I expected from PP.
#I can select the chart and edit the data table directly from within Impress

It seems that there is a problem populating the data table when opening a pptx file containing a chart.

Worked with version 4.1.2 installed on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64-bits

I was able to replicate it, using steps provided in previous posts.
Pre-conditions
Create a pptx and Insert(Use the Insert menu) to the current slide a chart(you can leave the default data for the chart)

1. In OO IMPRESS open the pptx from pre-conditions using the File> Open menu option
2. Review the chart in the opened pptx file

Actual Result:
Chart is displayed blank

Expected Result:
We might want to properly display chart from a pptx as it is in when opening it with powerpoint
