Hi Russell, I was initially hoping that there would be some kind of mode string that would directly control this (perhaps something like `;I’ or `;J’ for rectangular format, or `;P’ for polar format), but that isn't supported. I don't quite see how to use your `;%f’ suggestion for this, though. Can you elaborate? I also tried messing around with org-calc-default-modes to no avail. Thanks, Rob.
