Forgive a probably stupid input in this discussion, but your problem reminds me of one I had 
recently with gnucash.  Are you sure that there is complete agreement between the locale settings 
in a) your system, b) LibreOffice and c) your program?  In particular the system settings can be 
crucial, especially if you have a 'blended' so-called custom setting there.  You may, for example, 
have the US setting, modified to account for Brazilian variations.  In linux and on the Mac you can 
actually fix this using the LC_xxx locale settings, but I don't know how you would do this on 
Windows, and since you're also using Excel, you are presumably using Windows.
