Hello Buovjaga,

Thank you for staying with me.  Let me try to be more precise.  If I set the
value of a cell in spreadsheet A equal to a value of a cell in the "linked"
spreadsheet B, I expect that value to show up in the destination sheet without
having to open a bunch of other sheets.  I don't care if the source cell value
is dependent on values in other sheets.  There is a value in the source sheet,
and that's the value I want to show up in the destination sheet.  This used to
work for me in OpenOffice.  Now it does not work in OpenOffice or LibreOffice. 
Are you telling me you've tried it, and it doesn't for you?  I am absolutely
certain this is the way the linking functionality used to work for me.

Something has changed.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Is there a way to set the value in a cell in a spreadsheet to the value that is
in a cell of another sheet?  Again, I don't care about how that source value is
defined or indeed if it's "correct".  If it's not, I'll fix it some other way.

I'm not expecting, nor do I want, any "cool" chained updating.  That was just
my attempt to try to explain what I thought was going on.
