Add text to a table in a document

[libro1s]

Hello. I have a document with a table in it. The value from the table needs to be displayed in another table, plus some text needs to be added to it.
I thought I could solve this simple task with =<Table1.A1>&" abc", but keep getting the error.

What exactly is my error? Is that even possible to do?

It looks as if Writer formulas do not support any concatenation. The f-button in the formula bar does not list any such operator nor function.
If you want to add some unit to a number, for instance 123 kg or 123 ft. or $123.00 try format cell A1 accordingly. It might be formatted as text right now.
This will make the numbers calculatable as well (sum, min, max, average etc.).

Don’t think of Writer as a spreadsheet application. It is a document processing program. Basically cell contents is text. Some reduced spreadsheet capability is offered, but cell contents remains text.

Consequently, your problem can be solved with cross-references.

Source data

• select what you want to capture
• Insert>Cross-reference
• (make sure the dialog opens in Cross-references tab), set Type to Set reference, give it a Name:
• press Insert and Close

Referencing the selection

• put the cursor where you want to insert what you’ve designated
• Insert>Cross-reference
• set Type to Insert reference
• click on the name corresponding to the selection
• in Insert reference to, select the type of information to insert: Page for page number, Chapter for chapter information, Reference for the text itself
• press Insert and Close

You may add anything before or after the insertion which is equivalent to concatenation. But, everything ends up as text, which means you can’t chain computations.
