Description pbjs212 2006-05-20 04:03:49 UTC 
OO differs from Excel in adding a text cell and numeric cell.

Consider the following sheet:
  A1 12.3
  A2 =TEXT(A1;"###.###")
  A3 =A2+1

In A3, Excel has 13.3 but OO has 1, because it's treating all non-numeric cells
as zero instead of converting them

Not a bug !

Text is text and not a number so you can't calculate with text.

Also it's a double to another Issue.

fst, sorry for duplication, but I didn't find the original issue. I didn't say
it was a bug, only that it's inconsistent with Excel. Perhaps you'll need to add
a "faithful Excel emulation" option setting then...
