Hi :) I suspect that the 55% for AOO in business is due to LibreOffice voters not finding an option to vote for Libreoffice.  In such cases the votes seem to be split between Google-docs and AOO because they are the 2 suite that are most similar to LibreOffice.  Likewise where AOO is not

Hi :) Do!  My example of the Academic Section was a tad flawed!  lol.  They do actually have 2 of the bundles for students and academics, they just don't have the 'normal' bundle for a comparison.  So, it's still not a fair vote but somehow LibreOffice is streaking ahead despite that.

Hi Steve, I only have 4.0.1.2 installed, but my guess is that with the comma in there, or possibly the dollar sign, or maybe both, when you are pasting it, calc thinks it is text and not a number. That causes the left alignment and not being dividable since text can't be divided. Don On

Perhaps macro is not run due to error? LibreOffice does not use VBA, as MS Office does; it uses Star Basic instead. It tries to translate VBA to SB on the fly, but most of time it fails to do so. I bet this is your case. I am afraid you must rewrite your macro to Star Basic, so LO will be able
