           Summary: Allow CSV numeric fields to be defined as numeric or
                    currency, not just text
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Importing a CSV file from my bank for tax purposes.  The currency fields came
in as text strings.  The only choices to reformat the fields were as dates,
general not as a numeric or currency as a result I was unable to perform
calculations against these fields without nually strip the string identify from
each field!  (I see were some one entered a fix request to define numerics as
strings.  This makes absolutely no sense.  (I am lucky I have a MAC.  I had to
use Apple's Numbers spreadsheet application.  Please rethink this.
