What you need to do is 1) You CAN'T use the Save button 2) You must always Save As (although you can overwrite your csv file) 3) In the Save As dialog, always check the bottom box "Edit filter settings" 4) On the next dialog choose "Keep current format" (meaning save as CSV) 5) On the Export Text File dialog, make sure you UNCHECK the "Save cell content as shown" option (this tells Calc not to save long date as the text you see on screen but save the value) and CHECK the "Quote all text cells" option (just to make sure all text is properly saved
Works like a charm. Pedro wrote
That's it. Since you want to save as CSV you will have to repeat this procedure at save time and the format procedure at opening... I can live very well with that.

Hope this helps ;) It certainly does. Thank you very much.
Oh, and by the way, can you confirm that data validation does not work with CSV files? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Cell-formatting-with-CSV-files-in-Calc-tp3557689p3558288.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
