I'm writing a macro to make it such that if a value is found in column B then do one thing, otherwise do another thing. However it doesn't return the correct value because it doesnt look at the the text the formulae outputs.

VBA Code:
Sub Value_Find()

Dim Cell As Range
Columns("B:B").Select
Set Cell = Selection.Find(What:="Please Add Institution", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
        LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
        MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

If Cell Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox "It Works"
Else
    MsgBox "Please Add Institution"
End If



End Sub

so, if I write "Please Add Institution" manually then it returns the correct message box, however if there is a formulae making the cell value "Please Add Institution", then it doesn't print the correct message- instead it prints "It Works".

Please help thanks
