ORIGINAL ANSWER
GemBox.Spreadsheet currently supports only values that are calculated by the Excel (so if file is saved by the MS Excel, we can read formula values). GemBox.Spreadsheet does not have its own calculation engine.

To read formula values in XLS format use ExcelFile.LoadXls overload that accepts XlsOptions enumeration and use XlsOptions.PreserveWorksheetRecords or XlsOptions.PreserveAll.

To read formula values in XLSX format use ExcelFile.LoadXlsx method with XlsxOptions enumeration values XlsxOptions.PreserveKeepOpen or XlsxOptions.PreserveMakeCopy.
