 In an Excel spreadsheet saved in .ods format are column pairs representing
data that can be combined into a single column because rows have a value in
one column or the other, but never both.

 In Xess I was able to put the cursor in a cell (e.g., N2) and enter the
formula
'+n2+o2' and have the sum of the two columns in N2. LO doesn't like this. It
told me to turn on iteration (error 522), but that just moved the error to
523.

Your formula is referencing itself.  Try typing exactly the same
formula in a different cell.  For example:
in Cell P2 type the formula '+n2+o2' and let us know if this solves
your problem.

I think the only problem is a missing = sign at the start of the formula?

=n2+o2

rather than +n2+o2 should do the trick

Having a plus (+) at the beginning of the formula rather than an equal
sign (=) should not be a problem (this is accepted syntax).
