            Bug ID: 141292
           Summary: Calc should display hint "internal calculation is done
                    without rounding".
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: steffan.steffner at gmx.net

I think Calc should show a hint that it uses the internally carried value for
calculation. For example, on "mouse-over" should be displayed (e.g.): "internal
calculation is done without rounding." Optimally, the indication should only
appear if the result at hand differs from a result that would result if the
displayed rounded values were used for calculation.

And optimally, the link (see below) to the corresponding help function should
then also be displayed.

Background:
I created an invoice/calc spreadsheet that calculated 2 different VAT rates for
2 amounts, and then added up those two results.

The result was that the total was not the same as the total from the displayed
values, but was 1 cent higher. And then I tried and puzzled **for about 1
hour.**

To calculate with the rounded off numbers instead of the internal exact values
    Choose Tools - Options - LibreOffice Calc.
    Go to the Calculate page. Mark the Precision as shown field and exit the
dialog with OK.
