Hi Bastien,

I'd like to give my opinion on this subject.

First of all, I agree with you on the fact that the current way of 
presenting the table is clear enough, at least if you keep bold 
formatting for file times.

If I understand well, Sebastien's problem is due to the fact that he has 
to remove the bold formatting in order to be able to make references to 
this table's cells (in order to use its content value in a formula).

Removing bold formatting makes things unclear as you end up with 3 
levels on the same column (grand total, file totals and first level 
heading totals). In this case, I agree with Sebastien and I would prefer 
to split the first column into 2, keeping the grand total and file 
totals on the first column.

So, in my opinion, I see 2 solutions (which are not exclusive):

1) Be able to use a cell's content value in a formula even if a special 
formatting is used in that cell; if there's already a way to achieve 
this today, please tell us...

2) Follow Sebastien's idea in order for one to choose how to display the 
first 3 levels (grand total, file times and first level heading totals): 
in either 1 or 2 or 3 columns. The default being 1 column, corresponding 
to the current behavior.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
  Francesco
