In 2.0.3, which I'm using, you can change the default format for numbers to 
have no leading zeros. If I do this then your problem goes away.

To change the format go to Format>Styles and Formatting; choose Cell Styles 
(the leftmost icon); *right* click Default; click Modify. About 2/3 down is a 
box labelled "Leading zeros". Change this to 0, click OK and close the Styles 
and Formatting pane. Done.

I am assuming this, or something along these lines, will work in 1.1.5.
