--- Comment #5 from AlanH <[email protected]> ---
I am a volunteer treasurer for a local not-for-profit association. I have to
complete a report template each year to summarise my accounts for submission to
the organisation headquarters. The template is a protected Excel document that
uses this formula to create a text document based on my raw data. It has no
space character.

The template protection means I cannot edit the formula to make it compatible
with LibreOffice. I have asked headquarters to change it to make it compatible.
I told them they do not need to use the TEXT() formula in this case, but I do
not know whether they will do it.

I do not own Excel, and hoped to use LibreOffice to complete this task. This
year I have had to use someone else's copy of Excel. I have already donated to
LibreOffice, and I would rather not buy MS Office just for this report in
future years.

Since this is an incompatibility between Excel and LibreOffice, I thought I
should report it as an enhancement request. If you do not want to make it
compatible, that is your decision, and you should change the status to
"WONTFIX", but it seems a pity. I shall have to hope that headquarters will
change their formula.

I've reopened it in case you want to take it further.
