This is a simple bug in Calc which can be replicated by doing the
following:
1. Set a cell format to Text
2. enter a numerical value into the cell (e.g. 1 or 1E1)
3. Set the cell format to Number or Scientific
4. Note that the cell data is left justified and has a ' prepended to it in the
input line, which is not visible in the cell itself
This means that the cell value still interpreted as text and not as a
number, so it's impossible to plot it in a chart or do arithmetic with
it.
I hit this the first time when copying some data from a website into
Calc. The numerical values were not recognised and were automatially
pasted into Text formatted cells (OK, that's understandable). BUT:
changing the values to Number or Scientific format didn't change the
underlying datatype of the cell from characters to numbers.
