            Bug ID: 153886
           Summary: Feature request: entry in calc format cells dialogue
                    to change a text field to a formula
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mike.h...@onepoyle.net

Surprised I can't find this request anywhere.

I frequently find that entering what's intended to be a formula ends up as
text. There are ways to force the cell to be a formula, but they are error
prone and sometimes even when I get a simple formula to work it somehow changes
back to text when edited. I have developed spreadsheets with complex formulas
over many years. This is my most frustrating issue.

Request: Add entry to 'Format cells' to change selected cells with text
starting with = to use the cell(s) as formulae.
