Can I insert conditional formatting in an if statement? For example if (b5>b6, b5, "out of balance") with the phrase out of balance printed bold and in red?

Thanks to all
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
You cant do it within the formula

Just do the formula as normal, then highlight the cell and go into conditional formatting as usual. Make the condition Equal To and then just type Out Of Balance in the field and set the required format
