    IF then Formula Help (Text into IF then Formula)

    Cost Price - A Selling Price - B
    10 15

    I'm trying to create a IF then Formula that says =IF(B2 > B1, "Profit of" = B2-B1, "Loss of" = B2-B1)

    The message I get is False.
    please help. I need this statement in my if else formula "Profit of" and "Loss of"

    Maybe like this

    =IF(B2>B1,"Profit of "&B2-B1,"Loss of "&B2-B1)
