It's problem # 5930 :
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5930
and has 13 votes now, including mine. Engineering notation is common
enough that Calc should support it.

I have been using OOo for a few weeks now and was looking forward to
completely uninstalling MSO on my home computers and at work. There is only
one problem. Calc doesn't support engineering notation. Engineering notation
is simular to scientific notation except that the numbers to the right of the
'e' is evenly divisble by 3. examples are:
1.23e6
12
1.99e12
222e-9
Such notation easily aligns up with terms such as kilo Mega micro and milli.
It is very important for engineering. There has been a formal request to add
this feature. see url

This is an old issue going back to June 2002, and has 8 votes and assigned a
priority 4. This is an important issue for engineering and scientist types
who deal with terms such as kilowatts and millimoles, microdynes and
kilometers. What can be done to get this issue more priority and eventually
fixed. Its been 4 years and a large community of spreadsheet users are being
left out.
