Have you still got the sheet with the number correct in one cell and rounded
in another? If so you could have a look in the content.xml [sub-]file to see
how they are being stored. To do this, open the .ods file with something
like WinZip or gzip or 7-Zip and look at the content.xml file it

My goal is not to recover the data, Harold, as I already have it. My goal is to
figure out why the numbers are rounded.

Is the numbers being rounded up at once when the users put them in the

No, this is data that was entered somr time ago, and just now
discovered to be rounded.

If so, could this cause the round up..
I have found another case of Calc rounding numbers in spreadsheets,
this time on my own machine. That means that in two different Calc
spreadsheets, on two different operating systems, I have seen Calc
round numbers in spreadsheets. Has anyone else seen this happen?
