--- Comment #18 from b. <newbie-02 at gmx.de> ---
fine so far, but now try 1,2 instead of 1 in B1 and see '0' as result, 
happens for all values from -2,8125 to +2,8125 except the integers -2, -1, 0,
1, 2

may result from different handling of integers (16 significant digits) against
floats (rounded / truncated to 15 significant decimal digits), 

that rounding is too hard, maybe it's not necessary anymore, @Mike Kaganski
recently fixed an error in the string evaluation, tdf#130725, maybe rounding
was a try to hide such errors? then you could now handle integers and floats
with equal accuracy and avoid many irritations ...  

or shall i file an enhancement request for that, 'integers and floating point
values (decimal fractions) should be displayed and evaluated with equal
accuracy to avoid irritation', 

or does anybody know a reason why rounding of floats to less precision than
possible is neccessary? 

besides ... ex$el does better ... :-(
