You can retrieve interesting information about worksheet cells by using the Excel4 macro function GET.CELL. Define the name HasFormula with the value
=GET.CELL(48,INDIRECT("RC[-1]",FALSE))
for example. If you now insert =HasFormula next right to a cell, you will be shown whether the cell has a formula (“True”) or not (“False”).

Another example for GET.CELL you can find here.
