Shows how your data will look when it is separated into columns. In Text to Columns conversion, if cell content begins with a separator and this option is disabled, then first column will be emptied. Otherwise, Calc deletes content of previous cells. When this option is enabled, Calc preserves previous content of cells when pasting empty ones. Thousands separators and decimal separators may vary with the selected language and region. A decimal number string can have digits 0-9, thousands separators, and a decimal separator. The rest, including numbers formatted in scientific notation, will be imported as text. When this option is disabled, Calc will detect and convert only decimal numbers. The selected language influences how such special numbers are detected, since different languages and regions many have different conventions for such special numbers. When this option is enabled, Calc will automatically detect all number formats, including special number formats such as dates, time, and scientific notation. When this option is enabled, fields or cells whose values are quoted in their entirety (the first and last characters of the value equal the text delimiter) are imported as text.
