In Excel, you can tell a cell to reference another cell in order to calculate its value. I'd like to be to do the opposite, to get any cells that reference the currently-selected cell. Is this at all possible in Excel, either as one of the built-in functions or a VBA script?

Can't say how to use it programmatically, but from the Formulas ribbon, there is a "Formula Auditing" pane that allows you to "Trace Dependents" and will draw a visual arrow on the sheet from the currently selected cell to any that reference it via a formula.
There's a corresponding "Trace Precedents" command as well.
