A more concrete example showing what I was trying to describe... If you have a sheet displaying the following values:
9876.00 9876.50 9876.54 The actual values of the cells are: 9876 9876.5 9876.54(they're just displayed with two decimal places because of the formatting applied to the cells)
If you search for "9876.54", it finds the cell containing 9876.54; so far so good.
If you search for "9876.5", it finds the cell containing 9876.5, and also the cell containing 9876.54; also fine, but probably not very helpful in your case.
If you search for "9876.50", it DOES NOT find anything - which is probably not what you'd expect (I'd have expected it to find that cell containing 9876.5).
To find cells displaying "9876.50" but not other values (such as 9876.54), it seems you need to use the Find & Replace dialog, search for "9876.5", and select the "Entire cells" option. This may present other problems, for example it wouldn't find a value 9876.501, even though that would be displayed as "9876.50".

Hi Mark What I’m entering in Find is the full amount/value. The amount of 1234.12 is just to show the format I am using Kind regards, Evie. evie@wedloco.co.uk www.wedloco.co.uk DIY Invitations & Stationery 0131 478 9175 On 20 Dec 2014, at 18:11, Mark Bourne <libreoffice-ml.mbourne@spamgourmet.com> wrote:WEDLOCO wrote:Thanks Tom for your quick response and suggestion - and also all others who have contributed. Downloaded the Still version 4.2.8 but same thing is happening. Worked 1st time I entered a value in find and then when I changed the amount "Search key not found". I entered different amounts from different cells to test and it can find some values but not others??? They are all formatted as numbers e.g.: 1234.12. No formulas in cells. These are bank statements downloaded as .cvs files then changed to .ods files in Libra to check against receipts. Cheers. Evie.Briefly experimenting with this, it seems that if there is a value of 1234.1 in a cell, it is found when searching for 1234.1 but not when searching for 1234.10 - even if it is formatted to display two decimal places. Could that be what you're seeing? Additionally, a cell containing 1234.12 is found by a search for either 1234.12 or 1234.1, which makes it more difficult to find 1234.10 but not 1234.12. It is possible though, by using Edit > Find and Replace, entering "1234.1" as the search term, and selecting the "Entire cells" option; that will then find a cell containing 1234.1 but not 1234.12. This does seem potentially confusing. If this is the problem you're seeing, it may be worth filing an enhancement request athttps://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/. After filling in the details but before submitting, check the list of "Related bug reports". If any of those describe the same problem, it's better to add information there instead of submitting a new report. Mark.
