Hey there,
i just spent an hour trying to fix a broken calculation result and almost
went crazy.
The issue turned out to be a number with a --> ' <--- in front of it. That
is not visible, but only in the edit field of the cell.
In my case it led to a different result than in my accounting software, I
was summing up a bunch of cells.

Before I had switched from English to German "Locale" settings, so that
numbers would be displayed with a comma instead of point. I don't know how
this sign got before the number, but in any case it led to wrong calculating
result.

I consider this very dangerous, since I rely on the results for pretty
important stuff....
And hope that the community picks this up in some way! ;)
thanks, peace
