excel - send result of formula to another celClosed

Question

Hello,
Is it possible to have the results of a formula go to a cell other than the cell containing the formula?

And I don't want to do the '=c5' type thing. That's the wrong way round (that's another cell requsting the data from the forumla cell. I need the formula cell to pro-actively send the results to the other cell, so the other cell can contain the actual data)

This is so that if someone does ctrl-c on the cell and they copy the value rather than the formula.

the question is not clear 
 if in any cell if you type A1+B1 it will give that result. 

more clarification is required.

If it's just one or a few formula's:
Copy the cell containing the formula and paste special it to the destination cell selecting the option Value.

Does this help?

I think what he/she is saying is something like this:

Example, a formula typed in cell B3

=if(A1=1,G6=A1+A4,G6)

I too, am wondering if there is a way to do that.
