I assume you want to hide the formula, but want to show the value.
You can protect the sheet.

1. Select all the cells with formulas that you want to hide.
2. Format-Cells, in the Protection tab, check Locked and Hidden
3. Tools-Protection-Protect Sheet

Again, this will hide the formula in the formula bar. Users would see the
value in the cell.
