display the cell value as 5*6.

Not sure I fully understand but how about this in C1

=A1 &"*"& B1&" = "&A1*B1

ya thats one way of doing it but isnt there any other smarter way,
cause my formula is quite big, is there any macro which can be run
which can show me the formula and instead of cell referance it will
show me cell value in that formula like simply "5*6" instead of "a1*b1"

if you want to do it with code, you'll have to break your formula down
something like this:

sub test
Range("c1").Formula = "=" & Range("A1").Value & "*" & Range("b1").Value & ""
end sub
