example and system data and text explanation

Research on presenting Degree(s) in CALC

Temperature 01
Raw Data typed daily using various means to format as Degree Centigrade.
Temperature 02
Copy to use in next column to preserve original.
Temperature 03
Remove degrees C using alt0176 to define degrees C. 
Errors a result of how I defined degree symbol
Temperature 04
All now as decimal number
Temperature 05
As Decimal Number
Temperature 06
Shows what I wanted to see without hard work!
That is without having to enter number, then enter zero (0) then C then reverse
back to hover over zero (0) and make it superscript.
Temperature 07
Having corrected cell format expected it follow on into next cells - DON'T
ASSUME.
Temperature 08 and Temperature 09
Accept that need two values to increment/decrement
Temperature 10
Being really lazy why do I have to add colour?
Temperature 11
Clone an existing negative and apply on a cell by cell basis.
Temperature 12°C
Clone and apply to multiple empty cells works if all are to follow are same
sign.
Included on the spreadsheet are two screen shots addressing how I added to
User-defined the correct
formats for the cells to be default for positive and red for negative values.

Is the result of the research "a bug" or just an example of someone being lazy? 
A kinder thought
"Entering a positive value 'Default' acceptable.
Entering a negative 'Defaults to Red' would be nice."

Thinking I had solved problem returned to source document and discovered my
solution does not work on the existing data base. 

Refer to CALC Columns Y and Z Row 347 through to Row 369 of DegreesEnhance.ods.
Entering the values given in Column Y results in various values in Column Z.
The only correct values in Column Z are Z348 & Z369. Note neither of these
occur in prior cells.
Why Z355 through 361 are correctly formatted in the centre of the column while
Z348 & Z369 are formatted to the right and the remainder are formatted to the
left I am at a loss.
It would appear the only solution I have is to return to my data base format
the cells in a new column correctly and then transpose 365 values. Unless of
course you know of a better way.
