Hello, I have been using LibreOffice for two years now. My problem is mainly with LibreOffice Calc. I am utilizing it mostly for account book keeping. As such, I always have to format the cells by changing to my favorite fonts, number style (using separator, decimal point etc.) or date format (in accordance with the standard usage of my country i.e. dd/mm/yyyy). However, the problem I always encounter with Calc is that whenever I re-open any existing files which I have formatted as explained above the cells revert to default values. This is quite stressful as I have to re-format the cells repeatedly. I wish my report here will get your utmost attention. Thank you. regards, Shahrizal Kamal
Hi, - are your Calc file sufficiently anonymous to be provided to us for analysis ? - what settings do you have in Tools > Options > Language settings > Language ? - what format (ODS ? XLS ? other ?) do you use for saving and reopening ? - do you format cells explicitely (what we call "direct formating"), not with the "Cell Style" feature ? Regards
Created attachment 89665 [details] attachment-17588-0.html Hi, Thanks for your prompt response. My reply are as below: 1. I am unable to provide my files as those are confidential files however, I attached herewith a sample file for your attention. As you can see, the first three rows are the format which I have set-up according to my preference. The second three rows are new figures/data after I re-open the file. It seems that it goes back to default. 2. The settings I have chosen in the 'Tools' menu for language is Malay (Malaysian). 3. I always saved my files with 'xlsx' (Microsoft Office 2007/2010) settings as sometimes I do have to share some of my files with my colleagues who are mostly Windows users. 4. I do not understand fully the question but I guess I did the direct formatting. To describe it further, I just highlighted the entire column/row, right click at the highlighted column/row, chose 'Format Cell' and did the necessary changes in accordance with my preferences. Hope my explanation above suffices. Thank you. regards, Shahrizal Kamal On Fri, Nov 22, 2013 at 3:38 PM, <bugzilla-daemon@freedesktop.org> wrote: > *Comment # 1 <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71897#c1> on > bug 71897 <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71897> from > Dominique Boutry <dominique.boutry3@laposte.net> * > > Hi, > > - are your Calc file sufficiently anonymous to be provided to us for analysis ? > - what settings do you have in Tools > Options > Language settings > Language ? > - what format (ODS ?

Hi, I can confirm your problem which is specific to the xlsx format. 1. open your testing.xlsx doc 2. format column F to be a number with thousands separator 3. type some numbers in the column and observe the comma separator 4. save as xlsx 5. reopen doc 6. cells already populated are formatted correctly 7. cells not populated are not formatted FYI I don't whether you can work around by storing as testing.xls where the formatting is maintained and your windows colleagues will also be able to read the file. Cheers
Hi again, Solved. Thanks for the advise. Really appreciate it. Thank you.

Created attachment 118677 [details] Test file with 3 example formats.
Hi, I'm affected by this bug too. The definition is very similar, but first I've noticed this bug for the currency format. OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit LO: 4.4.4.3, 4.4.5.2 I've added the file "Test_2.ods" with 3 example formats: date; currency; number with a fractional part. You can see, that the colomns A,C,D are properly formatted (so, you can add entries to empty rows and the data will be formatted as expected). After saving this file to the .xlsx format you will lose all the formatting for the empty rows. If you'll try to manually restore columns formating for the .xslx file, it would work only till the file closing. After reopening the .xlsx file you will see all formatting for the empty rows is lost again. P.S. It's quite strange, but I have not been affected by this bug for the currency format with LO 4.3.5 - 4.3.7. It started for me with LO 4.4.
