<pre>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, <a class="bz_bug_link

title="RESOLVED FIXED - ImpSvNumberInputScan::StringToDouble may produce inaccurate result"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=130725">tdf#130725</a>, 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 ... :-(</pre>
