The value format is '0,0%" VAT"'. If you load the attached document, put the
cursor in the VAT field (A10), and edit the value to say "13,2", and tab out of
the field, the format is lost (-> Text '@'), the new value is displayed left
aligned, although the field is still right aligned(!), and the calculation in
B10 fails (-> 0,00 €). I wasn't able to recover from this without reassigning
the specific %-format (0,0%" VAT"), and *enter* the plain value again. The only
proper way to change the VAT value for an experienced user is selecting the
whole value, and replacing it with a plain number.

I would expect the field A10 to keep the assigned format, and just accept the
new value. Then, the calculation in B10 wouldn't fail as well, I bet.
