For me dealing with an extension, installing it, making sure it doesn't conflict with something else was more effort than creating a column, using Value() and then pasting special.
What's a problem is that in Excel even though it also uses the leading ' to format text as numbers, if you change the format of a cell the conversions happen without any problems. I want that same behavior in Calc because to me it makes sense that the cell format should be the controlling factor for what type of data is in a given cell.
