Description p2035e 2014-09-14 20:19:54 UTC
Well this is actually happening on version 4.2.6.3, but you don't have that option so I chose 4.2.6.2 which is the closest.

Description:
This doesn't make any sense. Calc is prepending tick character ' to the small numbers. If I open a file in notepad the tick is not there.

Steps to reproduce:
1. have a text csv file with small numbers like 0.00000190001477994
2. open it in calc
3. now every number contains ' character like this: '0.00000190001477994

And I think this is not limited to csv. It's just that csv can be easily checked with the text editor.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.2.6.2 release
Comment 1 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2014-09-14 20:26:39 UTC
It's not a bug, it means that for some reason Calc imported these numbers as text. The tick before a number is a mean to force Calc to treat it as text.

To go further we need more informations:
1/ a CSV file
2/ a screencopy showing the csv import dialog when you choose your import parameters.
3/ the resulting .ods file

Set status to NEEDINFO. Please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once you have provided requested informations. Thank you for your understanding.

I have provided the files you requested.

I guess the numbers work ok in the resulting .ods file. The problem is when you only work with .csv files.

Thank you for the data.
Opening your csv file works fine in version 4.3.3.0.0+ under Ubuntu 14.04 x86-64 with FR localization (FR UI and comma as decimal separator). I do not see any tick before numbers.
Works as expected with version 4.2.7.0.0+ too.

What is the locale of your system (language, decimal separator) ?
What do you mean by "The problem is when you only work with .csv files." ? I do not know what could be the difference between working with the csv file and working with the same file saved as .ods file.

I can not confirm with LO 4.3.1, WIN7. Numbers imported correctly.
