Created attachment 172963 [details] First LEFT may refers to a blank cell If LEFT() formula inserts spaces at the beginning of the string (because the cell it refers to is blank) and is saved as .xlsx, when you reopne the file, the string ignores spaces until it is recalculated. By copying and pasting before the recalculation the leading spaces are missing. Saving in .ods the formula works correctly and the copy and paste works as expected.
Hello PremPa, thanks for reporting this issue. Could you please explain the steps to reproduce the issue using the attached file ?
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #1) > Hello PremPa, > thanks for reporting this issue. > Could you please explain the steps to reproduce the issue using the attached > file ? Sure. If I open the attached file I see the cell R2 with no blank spaces at the beginnig. Now if I press F9 the cell is recalculated and the first 5 spaces related to the formula LEFT(M3&" ";5) appears If I save in ods everything works correctly. If you want to try in a new fil just type in A1 =LEFT(A2&" ";5)&LEFT(B2&" ";5)&LEFT(C2&" ";5) leave A2 empty, type something in B2 and in C2, save in xlsx and reopen: the first five spaces doesen't are there Press F9 and they will appear.
