Does anybody know how to display and work with SI numbers like 10k or
20M or 40G within LIbreOffice?
I have had little luck searching with google et al.
While I am at it how about engineering notation?
I think you looking for superscript and/or subscript:
<https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Making_Text_Superscript_or_Subscript>
for display.
If you are working in Calc look at:
<https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Number_Format_Codes#Scientific_Notation>
Scientific notation is 1.87272837373E+5Â and engineering notation tends
to be 3 digits and an exponent that is a multiple of 3 like 103E+3 or
2.25E-6
For SI 1000 =1k 1000000=1M and so on.
SI like output is what you get from df -h or ls -h
