The statusbar provides flexible access to the most common functions. If you
calculate the Count(), for example, it will update the statusbar info on this
panel depending on the selection. Your request is about a programmable tooltip
per cell. 

Anyway, I like the idea and obviously it can be realized only per extra dialog
/ interaction. It could be an entry "Insert Tooltip" in the context menu that
shows a small dialog or floating widget accepting functions like =A1*9/5+32 or
text ="Celsius". In order to not need to enter the value for every single cell
I would allow pasting special just this (and update the cell reference unless
it's fix). Don't see a similar feature at competitors so we have to store it in
some extra document space and communicate that it would be lost on round trips. 

All quite some hurdles which could be solved per macro / extension.
