Talk:Calc/Features/Numbers import for plain text files

Please specify how numbers in scientific notation are treated. (and remove this comment then) Regina 22:43, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

How scientific notations are parsed will not change by this enhancement. Rather, the purpose of introducing the "Detect special numbers" option is precisely to disable special number detection, mostly because of user's complaints about Calc's CSV import filter incorrectly converting cell values to dates. So, I will not cover how scientific notations are parsed in this spec, since I really don't know. ;-)

Does that answer your question? --Kohei 00:01, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
