Bug #: 52236
Summary: CSV import/Export filter option for decimal point
character
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Spreadsheet
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: luis.neves at ipleiria.pt
A very useful enhancement to LibreOffice calc would be to have an option to
specify the digital point character. When importing/exporting data from/to
other software packages, namely simulation software, it is often necessary to
execute a cumbersome procedure when our system local uses a different
character, as in the Portuguese case, where we use the comma.
As an example, I usually have to import data as text, then I change all (with
search-replace) the commas to semi-colons, then I change all the dots to commas
and only then I can use the "text-to-columns" option to have the data on a
useful form.
I think this enhancement would be useful to several other [latin] languages as
well.
Best regards,
Luís Neves
