Good day Mr. Excel Team,

I'm trying to put together a formula that would look at for a difference between two cells and if there is one, the result would be "Dept. A: #.##" If there is no difference the result would be blank. Here's a snapshot:

J5:J21Cell Value="Error"textNO


The formula I have written which is in another cell is:

=IF(C5=K5,"","Dept. A: "&TEXT(C5-K5,"#,##0.00 ;[Red](#,##0.00);- ")),IF(D5=L5,"","Dept. A: "&TEXT(D5-L5,"#,##0.00 ;[Red](#,##0.00);- ")),IF(E5=M5,"","Dept. A: "&TEXT(E5-M5,"#,##0.00 ;[Red](#,##0.00);- ")),IF(F5=N5,"","Dept. A: "&TEXT(F5-N5,"#,##0.00 ;[Red](#,##0.00);- ")),IF(G5=O5,"","Dept. A: "&TEXT(G5-O5,"#,##0.00 ;[Red](#,##0.00);- ")),IF(H5=P5,"","Dept. A: "&TEXT(H5-P5,"#,##0.00 ;[Red](#,##0.00);- ")),IF(I5=Q5,"","Dept. A: "&TEXT(I5-Q5,"#,##0.00 ;[Red](#,##0.00);- "))

Currently I get a #VALUE! error. Probably by trying to format the result. Might there be a better way? Is there a method perhaps to aggregate differences (if any) and have them appear as one result? For example, if one cell has a difference of 5 and another a difference of 10, the result would read: "Dept. A: 15.00.

Tricky. At least for me.

Thanks in advance for the review and assistance.
