This is, to me, very strange....

The E column of a spreadsheet... there are some calculated values, shown with 2 
decimals. E2 contains =max(E3:E1000) or something like that.

I thought that 2 decimals was not enough so I changed to 3. I highlighted the E 
column and changed the number of shown decimals to 3. Each one of the cells in 
the E column (E3:E1000) contains contidtional formatting. They are all compared 
to E2 and if they are equal to E2 the background colour of that cells turns 
green. This is a typical example where the precision of the calculations are 
critical (and I have had a lot of problems in that matter with OpenOffice Calc, 
but no one seems to care at all). So when I change to 3 decimals, the cell with 
the highest value (the same value as E2), which was green before, is no longer 
green (sometimes, but sometimes it is... which make the whole thing even more 
strange). As if this would not be enough, it only shows 2 decimals!

If anyone is interested, I can send the whole file. If you can manage how to 
fix this, then you certainly can do something that I can not... As long as I 
keep using 2 decimals, everything works fine, in any other case it doesn't.

I made some changes in Tools - Options - Spreadsheet - Calculate, but all with no seccess 
at all. Like I changed the decimal field to 3 instead of 2 and I unchecked a checkbox 
called something like "precision as shown".

Best regards
