Last time I used this software (long time ago), that happened by default. Now I have to F9 every time.
Look at Tools | Cell Content and ensure that AutoCalculate is checked.

Edit: Apparently LO now has it under under Data | Calculate | AutoCalculate - see AutoCalculate - LibreOffice Help
Where is Cell Content?
also it may have just been a bug. restarting my computer fixed it, it seems?
Depends on the version, look in Menu/Data/Calculate
Under Tools > Options > LibreOffice Calc > Formula
You need to re-enable Recalculation on File Load. (Probably for Excel 2007 and newer)
Set it to Always recalculate. Then you’ll get the behaviour you’re after.
Not an answer but a confirmation that no Ctrl Shft F9 variant works to update a few formulas on different lines.
The entire sheet was formed solely in Calc but I have no apparent means of updating anything with Randbetween in a formula unless it’s just one cell and I use F9. Any help appreciated.
