Is there a way to prevent a user from forwarding an excel spreadsheet? Thanks in advance.

These are always hard questions to answer, because it's not what you want to hear.
The answer is no.
You can protect the spreadsheets with a password that will hide the formulas and not allow any changes to the sheet or parts of the Worbook/sheet.
Look at Tools>Protection. Format the cells you want to allow to change by removing Locked on the Format>Cells Protection tab and then the rest will be locked when protected.
