Sending books to Kindle, page count, own calculation method in the custom column

Hello.

I would like to calculate the number of pages while sending books to my Kindle using my own method. The method is simple, for me it is the number of pages retrieved by Calibre "accurate" method multiplied by 1.4 . Calibre offers the following solution:

Custom column name to retrieve calculation method from
If you have a custom column in your library that you use to store the preferred method for calculating the number of pages for a book, you can have calibre use that method instead of the default one selected above. Specify the name of the custom column here, for example, #pagemethod. The custom column should have the values: fast, accurate or pagebreak.
My question is: what syntax should I use to type this simple formula in my custom column? I tried "#accurate*1.4", "=#accurate*1.4", and some other variants. They did not work. I will appreciate your help.
