Thanks, but it is pasted text that this applies to.

Hi :)
I think you might be over-complicating it? Just typign the number in as a
number and letting the formatting do it's magic seems a much easier route!

Same mistake as usual, sending my replies privately. I will never
learn, I'm quite sure of that now…
Anyway, here it is again, to the list this time:

Hi.
If I type or paste $2,441.99 into a cell in calc (3.6) it is left aligned.
If I right click format cell it states number-general.
If I divide it by 2 I get #value!
How do I get LO to recognise this as a number. I found a long winded way,
format it as currency and remove the ' that LO puts in front.

I think a macro could do that for you and I was even thinking of
writing one, but if it should be useful no matter what locale settings
you have, the macro needs to know things like decimal- and thousands
separator (for example in my country we use space for thousands
separator and comma for decimal separator, which is quite different
>from yours). I am sure it's possible but still searching…
