No Excel version to date has supported that, and I doubt MS is about to introduce such a change - it would probably break backwards compatibility, meaning worksheets using it couldn't be used on older systems. Somehow I doubt users would welcome such unsupported features: (a) causing crashes; or (b) being converted to text instead of formulae.
