Default return a formula instead of a value of a cell

Is it possible to let excel return a formula instead of the cells value. At
this stage I need to write all possible formula's for each cell (vlookup will
return the corret one depending on a code inserted by user). I was wondering
if it was possible to return a formula instead of a value. This would make my
lookup table considirable smaler and avoids repeating all formulas 60 times.
And I only have to edit one formula/cell to correct mistakes.

Example:
Cell B3 on Sheet2 contains the following

O&row/P&row * Q&row

I want excel to actually return this formala to the cell on sheet1 and not
the result.

thanks
