Selective Style Attributes in Excel

When I create a new cell style in Calc it applies every attribute (font, font
effect, border, etc.) to the cell.

Nearly all styles I will use need to exclude at least one or several of these
attributes.

For example:

1) I need a style to set the number style, font, font effect, and background to
all cells in a column. I do not want the style to modify the various borders
found in the column.
2) I need a style with font, font effect, background and it will be appied to
several columns and rows containing various different types of numbers (decimal
places, currency, etc). I do not want the style to modify the attributes of the
numbers.

How do I create a style to only modify certain/intended attributes?

I created a thread on the LibreOffice forum from which I determined that this
feature is missing from the current (3.5.7 & 3.6.4) LibreOffice releases:
http://en.libreofficeforum.org/node/4954

In Excel, when you create a custom style, there are checkboxes for each of the
attributes you want to include in the style.

I've attached a screenshot of this feature in Excel. I need this same
functionality (feature parity) in LibreOffice.
