Does anybody know how to display and work with SI numbers like 10k or 20M or 40G within LIbreOffice?
I have had little luck searching with google et al.
While I am at it how about engineering notation?
I think you looking for superscript and/or subscript: <https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Making_Text_Superscript_or_Subscript> for display.
If you are working in Calc look at: <https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Number_Format_Codes#Scientific_Notation>
Scientific notation is 1.87272837373E+5Â and engineering notation tends to be 3 digits and an exponent that is a multiple of 3 like 103E+3 or 2.25E-6 For SI 1000 =1k 1000000=1M and so on. SI like output is what you get from df -h or ls -h -- Alvin Starr || land: (905)513-7688 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin@netvel.net ||
