--- Comment #1 from orcmid <or...@apache.org> ---
Can you provide some examples, please, of how you would expect this to work and
what the format is otherwise?
(Users can of course produce relative-rounding of values by calculation, and
this would reflect their understanding of the data itself. It would also allow
user control of the kind of rounding to be employed. This would also be
reflected in further calculation, whereas output formatting does not touch the
internal value.)
I have changed this to a feature request. There is not a defect in terms of
how Calc is designed to work.
