Not in the sense that you can type the word of a number and/or operation to do a calculation, like having:

=Five multiplied by seven

=Ten + four

=8 minus 2

However some text functions can be used to generate numbers, like finding the length of a piece of text and using that number in a calculation. You can also give cells actual names and then use those names in calculations, which can be easier than remembering cell addresses. So you could have a cell named Total and then do a calculation like this, using the word Total instead of the actual cell reference:

=Total * 10%
