--- Comment #8 from Robinson Tryon (qubit) <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Jay Philips from comment #7) > Spoke with beluga and matthiew in the IRC about this issue and as "dollars" > is a formatting on a cell and when you are doing calculations it is only > multiplying the contents in the cell and not its formatting, Units are obviously more than just an afterthought in the model we're using in Calc. As Rainer noted: > Addition: 2 € + 3 € = 5 € (Retains units) > Division: 2 € / 3 € = 0,66666 (Loses units) So IMHO we should either 1) Do nothing special to propagate units through a calculation, or 2) Try to push units through a calculation completely correctly, or 3) Clearly and fully document the inconsistency in the Calc Manual and Wikihelp under a new section with a name like "Limitations and Bugs" > multiplying "X > dollars by Y dollars, ... should get XY dollars^2" is not possible. It sounds like we'll have to go with (3). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
