Load the axample file and save as .xlsx

Close and reopen the file in LibreOffice.

Cell format is altered: all figures in the table are displayed as 0's and 1's.

Hello.. I just realized no difference in cell number format. Can't confirm with LO 4.2.5.2 and 4.3.0.2 in Ubuntu 12.04 x86.

Have you tried resetting user profile?

Hi,

I resetted my user profile and get the same result as described previously.

I just uploaded the file I get after saving as xlsx from LibreOffice so you can try to load it.

Best Regards,
Eric Ficheux

Still don't understand why I can't reproduce with the file. Also with 4.2.6.1, result is the same.

Using fresh profile also makes no difference.

I'm using standard English installation package, perhaps it's the cause?
Comment 7 bureautiquelibre 2014-07-15 11:53:34 UTC
Looks like it: I'm using French.

I changed the language to English and tested, it worked fine.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this.
Here's the format I notice: _-* # ##0 _€_-;-* # ##0 _€_-;_-* -?? _€_-;_-@_-
Comment 9 Laurent Balland 2016-06-18 17:23:12 UTC
When you first open the XLSX file, LibO reads formatted content in the file. But, when you close and reopen, LibO tries to create formatted content, and fails due to conflict between space as character and space as thousand separator.

Lets give some details:
_- leave space for a '-' character
*  (with extra space) complete free space with character spaces
# ##0 display integer part with thousand separator
Up to here, everything is correct. The problem is with the next space, which should be treated as a space character (with quotes) but is seen as a thousand separator in French. As there is no digit after this, LibO display only thousands.
_€ leave space for a '€' character
_- leave space for a '-' character

So LibO should import this format as
_-* # ##0" "_€_-;-* # ##0" "_€_-;_-* -??" "_€_-;_-@_-
Comment 10 Laurent Balland 2016-06-18 17:42:07 UTC
As Gnumeric is able to import correctly import attachment 102612 [details] with format
_-* # ##0\ _€_-;-* # ##0\ _€_-;_-* -??\ _€_-;_-@_-
I suggest it is a duplicate of bug 81939
Escape character not imported from XLSX
