A simple pivot table with filter on mixed-type content
In the attached spreadsheet, week # is used to filter data in the pivot table
(page field). Excel sets cell B1 data type based on which data type was in the
data source; so when selecting week 1, =FORMULATEXT(B1) returns TRUE, and for
week 2 (which is made text in the data source) it returns FALSE. Using B1 in
LOOKUP also succeeds for week 1 when searching over numbers; but fails
(correctly) for week 2.
In LibreOffice, the type of B1 is unconditionally text. LOOKUP fails for any
week used in the filter.
See <a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/190242">https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/190242</a> for real-life problem
because of this.</pre>
