The values won't round. And based on what the user has selected, they will display to the nearest power of 3 (10^(k*3)), or in an explicit form. The default option will be to auto-range the values into their metric named range.
Here are some examples: http://www.libsf.org/misc/libreoffice_metric_example.ods Best regards, Rick C.
