--- Comment #9 from Jim Michaels <[email protected]> ---
I want D2 to be either general or fixed-point non-currency format. I am unable
to change the format of D2 once formula entered with dependency on C2. D2
retains C2's format forcefully, which it should not. this is not a feature,
it's like the computer saying "No, I don't want to and you can't make me"
(blah)

again, the problem is calc is being too helpful with its formatting. 
extected: it should allow a change to format after entering formula with
dependency (sure, it's probably a good idea to help the user ONCE by copying
the dependent format, but:
- how many dependency cells are you going to do this with?
- how would you propose to merge the changes>
- you should not repeat the format merge copy "experience" lest it cause user
hostility and frustration and wasted, frustrating time for consumer support.
