Bug ID: 115007
Summary: Add a number formatting option (for using in Format()
BASIC function, and in Calc number format) to spell
number, like in NUMBERTEXT extension
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: mikekagan...@hotmail.com
CC: er...@redhat.com
We have a great NUMBERTEXT extension by László Németh
(https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/numbertext-1;
http://numbertext.org/) which allows to spell a number (works for many
languages). However, it works with document language by default (not with cell
language; it's natural that a function's result doesn't normally depend on its
cell's formatting); it requires a separate column if one wants to continue
using the number in calculations; it isn't available outside of Calc.
The proposal is to add a new formatting code to number formatter, which would
spell its number. This would allow to use it in Basic; in Writer; allow to
apply to numeric cells and continue using it in calculations; allow to depend
on cell's language. The textual representation of a number is, actually, just a
formatting.
