Embarrasingly simple Excel question !
I really should know how to do this (but am obviously going senile).
I want to display a short block of text in one box if a certain numeric value shows in another - simple 'if' formula I assumed but what indicator goes around the text i.e =if(a2=325,BAL,0).
Or am I doing this the wrong way.
Can't find an answer on 'help' so far and don't have my reference books with me.

=IF(A2=325,"BAL",0)
Brackets around the if statement which comprises (ifstatement,then,else) and text must have double inverted commas around it.
Hope this was what you were after.
