Description Daniel Szabo 2018-12-11 15:56:47 UTC
Description:
When I changed the cell format from text to number, sum function was not working on those cells (even they were numbers). It is because all numbers get a hidden ' character.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write numbers to A1:A5 (cell format is number) A6 Sum(A1:A5)
2. Change the cell format of A2:A5 to text. (Sum function is still works well.)
3. Change the text format to "@ XY" (Sum function is not working any more. Still ok.)
4. Change back the text format to "@". (Sum function should work, but it is not.)
5. Change the cell format back to number. (Sum function should work, but it is not.) The numbers get an ' sign into the first character. (It is hidden until you click in the cell, and watch the above line.) Sum function still not working.
6. I have to delete the added caracter from each cell.

Actual Results:
The problem is reproduced.

Expected Results:
Sum the numbers of the cells.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

cell format after step 3

i can not confirm the described behaviour:

changing the cell format from number to text will
only align the cell value's to left.

one has to reenter the values after changing cell format to text
to get the described behaviuor.

Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
