The problem is that Calc does not really accept "fully customized" number
formats, but only modifications based on Language-Country formats. That kind of
customization is a frequent request.

That means that in the cell format (ctrl+1) you have to first set a
Language-Country that matches both the thousand separator and the decimal
separator that you want to use for that cell.

If you want to use English (USA) for the cell, but the space character as
thousand separator and dot/period as decimal separator, then you will have to
set the number of decimal places "by hand", manually modifying the number
format code.

For example, starting from:
#" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "##0.00

If you want 3 decimal places:
#" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "###" "##0.000

The only way to solve the real problem is to allow real customization of
separators, independent of the original ones for the Language-Country.

Having said that, the amount of places to the left of the decimal separator in
attachment 207195 (34 places) does not make much sense for spreadsheet tools.
You could still show that amount of places, but the less-significant places
will not be considered for calculations. This is orthogonal to the report.

Considering the current limitations of Calc, I guess that the report will
eventually be marked as WF.
