Thanks Bun, for your notes. I've think I saw this work-around mentioned a while back in this thread. I haven't tried it for a couple of reasons. First, I have--alas--a pc/vista, so I don't have Gnumeric there. Second, and perhaps more importantly, I have to share my spreadsheets with someone who needs excel, no choice. And, finally, I'm not complaining here, you understand, but it'd sure be nice to use the app without an additional two or three step work-around. BTW, I am using ver. 1.8.0-1chinook5 and, as of 2.1.08, still had the cell-formatting issues. I would love to use this app to keep my inventory up-to-date. Interestingly, I chose to use a spreadsheet instead of a database because it's such a small inventory that I really don't need a lot of computing power. But, what I do need for sure are multiple sheets, and calculations. Gnumeric works well enough on the first count (though the 'sheet selector' is very hard to find), but, alas, it still has issues with fields that contain calculations. These are simple calculations, too, just AVG and SUM. Again, to the developers, this is not a complaint, just an observation. I am, by the way, a very willing tester should you need someone 'in the wild' so to speak...
