   trying to get a spreadsheet done... Why are all these stupid software modifying any of my input. When I write "0" I want "0" , if I would like a "-" I would type "-" ???

   When will we have a spreadsheet software for researchers, these stupid functions made for secretaries are making me crazy, so crazy I have to write a post here to let some energy out...

     @jcolomb Still not sure what you mean – you can input zeros. Please try asking on our "Ask LibreOffice" site with more details about what you're trying to do, and someone will be able to help. And please remember that we're all volunteers 😊 https://ask.libreoffice.org/

     @libreoffice
     Not helping. I do not want '0 this would break everything, I want 0 tobe 0, because 0 is a valid number.
     Ido not want to spent another 10 minutes testing wether' -' will be correctly exported as 0 in a csv file or need to test spreadsheets tobe sure that no one entered' - ' i stead of 0.

     My question stands, why why why does the software change my valid number entry?
