How do I paste unformatted text (csv or tab delimited for instance) into LibreOffice Calc and then format it as numbers (without editing every cell by hand). When I paste the text below it puts a ' in front of everything so if I try to convert it to a number it's still text.
Text 0.01% 3% 5.1%
Asdf 0.2% 4% 6.0%
So for example if I paste special that as unformatted text with space delimiters and then convert 0.01% to a number (which would then say 0.0001 if it did what I wanted), it now says '0.01% in the cell.
This procedure is tested in LibreOffice 4.0.2. Paste as unformatted text, and choose the following options:
Now the percentages will be pasted as numbers instead of text, and you can use the format options to display them the way you like.
