Description: I often create Calc spreadsheet entries with a date in one cell and number amount in the cell to its right, but when I enter a number it wrongly converts it to a date. If I paste a new format into the cell, then enter the number again, it again wrongly transforms it to a date. I have to clear the format, enter the number, then reassign the font, size etc. In testing this for this bug report I found it does the same for $number in left cell, forces $ to a number in right cell. This is propagated to the right for as many entries as I try. The software may be trying to be user friendly but it is just the opposite in this case. LibreOffice Version: 6.2.2.2 (x64)on WIN 10 Build ID: 2b840030fec2aae0fd2658d8d4f9548af4e3518d Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open new Calc sheet pick, random cell in middle enter a number - fine 2.Select cell to right, right click, format cell, date, enter a date 3.Now type a number in cell to right of that one and it will become a date instead. Keep entering above or below or near it and it will change them to dates as you enter unless you click at least one blank cell away first. Actual Results: 123 123 5/6/30 123 $123 123 Manual Entries [05/02/00] [123] [05/06/30] [05/02/00] [$123.00] [$123.00] Cell Results Expected Results: 123 123 5/6/30 123 $123 123 Manual Entries [123] [123] [05/06/30] [123] [$123.00] [123.00] Cell Results Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:

If I'm not wrong it's only a matter of disable the option: Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice calc/General - Input settings - Expand formatting.
