Basic spreadsheet 101:

	You cannot self-reference a cell in a calculation.  ie, you cannot put
the expression: =D3*16  into cell D3.

	If you put that expression in some other cell, then D3 needs to contain
numeric data so that the multiplication can succeed.  I do it all the
time in Excel and OpenOffice.  I can't believe it is broken in
LibreOffice.....
