Do you have the following checked:
TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> LIBREOFFICE CALC -> VIEW
Value highlighting? If so, uncheck it.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] extracting cell values
Users Ahoy:
Is there a way to get LO (v5.2.7.2) calc to extract the numerical value
from a cell, and use that instead of the cell reference in further
calculations?
Frinstance, if I have 167 in cell A1, and want 16.7 in A2, how can I
program it, (if at all)?
If I put =A1/10 into A2, A2 will contain A1/10, not 16.7,even though it
will display as 16.7.
I want to get away from cell references and use the contained values.
Can I?
I thought that =VALUE(A1)/10 might work, but the result continues to use
the cell reference, not the contained value.

If you don't want to use cell references, how would you inform Calc
which one of the thousands of cells in a sheet was the one holding the
value you wanted it to use in your calculations?
If you actually do see A1/10 in cell A2, this suggests that cell A1 is
formatted as text not a numeric value. In which case =VALUE(A1)/10 does
work.

LibreOffice version 5.2.7.2 is quite old and I would recommend updating
to at least version 7.1.6 from:
