Description Timon 2012-06-05 23:58:55 UTC
Created attachment 62629 [details]
Example file with different cell formats

there is an xls file with 4 cells of the following format

cell A1, category Number, format -1234.12
cell A2, category Number, format Standard
cell A3, category Number, format Standard
cell A4, category Number, format -1234.12

Standard format options:
fractional part - 0
leading zeros - 1
Format code - Standard

-1234.12 format options:
fractional part - 2
leading zeros - 1
Format code - 0,00

If we select all four cells and try to apply Standard format to all them, everything will remain in original places. Cells A1 and A4 have -1234.12 format. But if we change format to any other, and then to Standard, then all will be applicable.

The same problem was confirmed in Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0

Confirmed with:
LO 3.5.4.2 
Build ID: own W7 debug build
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit

It is not possible to apply Standard format when cells with different formating are selected.

Bug is still reproducible with LibreOffice 4.4.2.2 Build ID c4c7d32d0d49397cad38d62472b0bc8acff48dd6 Locale ru_RU on Windows XP Professional SP3 (32bit)

It is not possible to apply Standard format when cells with different formating are selected.

By the way, after you tried to change format, nothing happens, because even the "Save" button remains inactive.

Bug is reproducible and can be important from UX side. Standard format is I guess Number-General. 
But it doesn't offer a solution like similar bug 76311. So I'll mark duplicate. If you disagree, please explain. 
Note workaround: select needed cells and clear formatting with Ctrl+M. Than you can change.
