Even a simple formula like =2+2 in an Excel cell does not open properly in Gnumeric. In Excel it will display as 4, when I open the .xls file in Gnumeric it will display as 5E-315
Chelli: I have the same problem on my n800/os2008 with weird things looking like scientific notation showing up in Excel 2003 files. And these are files that previously worked on the Gnumeric port for os2007, so it's nothing strange in the files. I managed to work around it by first importing the files into OpenOffice on my laptop and saving to a native .ods file, which Gnumeric opened correctly. Thanks for your efforts on Gnumeric, by the way!
