The point of (table) styles is to format existing content. So we should format
cell content but not convert text to numbers or vice versa. If you format a
cell in Calc as number, date or percet that contains text nothing is lost.
Whether cell format is not applied or not effective in the end (which is the
case in Calc) is up to the devs.</pre>
