Formulas linked to sheets which are restricted

Request Demo

When formulas which are linked to restricted sheets are edited, they corrupt. Sometimes the formulas need to be adjusted slightly to include say a rounding. When this rounding cell is added to the formula, the result does not display if the team member does not have access to the sheet. 
Is there a solution to this? 
thank you

    When you say restricted, I assume you mean no access to even view the sheet? I actually think I would prefer that the formula is corrupted in this case. Otherwise what would prevent someone who shouldn't have access to view the sheet contents changing a formula to include something they shouldn't see? I understand your situation is just rounding, but what if someone could update a formula to include restricted data? I think that defeats the purpose of restricting access the sheet. If you change their permissions to view only, does this still corrupt the formula?
