Is it possible to disable formula evaluation when modifying a workbook containing macros with Apache POI?

Question

I have an xlsm file which contains a VisualBasic function which is called from some cells in the workbook like this:

=myfunc(A1)

I know that if I modify Excel files with POI which contain macros and controls for them (like buttons) POI won't touch them and won't throw exceptions but when I try to modify a file which uses VB functions as formulas I get the following exception:

org.apache.poi.ss.formula.FormulaParseException: Name 'myfunc' is completely unknown in the current workbook

My idea is to configure POI to ignore (don't evaluate) these cells. Is this possible somehow?
