In EXCEL you can do this:

A       B       C
1       2       3
=A2+3   =B2+3   =C2+3

(I used CTRL+T to show formulas, you should see the values 4,5,6)

When you select A1:C3, and choose 'Insert'/'Table'

After this, typing the value 7 in cell 'A4', en pressing 'Enter' results 
in the fields B4 and C4 being updated with the same formula as in row 3.

How can this be achieved in LibreOffice Calc ?
