Description Marco Borra 2013-08-29 18:03:50 UTC
Problem description:
The cells in a column that contain the currency symbol is not properly formatted as currency type. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Have a proper CSV file (view attachment). As example:

///// CSV FILE BEGIN /////
A;B;C;
;€ 10;;
;€ 10;;
;€ 10;;
///// CSV FILE END /////

2. Import CSV file in Calc, then select column: B. Format as: currency.
3. Jump to end of selected range, then insert SUM() function.
4. You get 0 instead of realvalue, because the content of the cells is treated as text.

Current behavior:

Expected behavior:

Hi Marco, thanks for reporting.

Reproducible with:
Win7x64Ultimate
Version: 4.1.1.0.0+ Build ID: c1f0f890f5065f88164add33707228f8c6d5755
Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 9a1aca007fd06f3f8223ee02a79e44099d778b51

Detect spacial numbers or change default currency to another eur, don't affect the issue.

In 4.0.5 at least import as number although do not preserve the currency format.

Changed version to 4.1

Indeed with "Detect special numbers" checked, you get normal numbers. In 3.3.4 too, so I guess it's always been like this.

Work around work flow: import with "Detect special numbers" checked, and apply formatting later on.

I can confirm the bug is still present in recent 2024 versions (7.5.6.2).
