    Converting a number to text

    Hello People...I'm a first time visitor and pretty new to Excel Spreadsheet.
    I'm using Excel 2007. What I need to know is how to formulate a cell to change a numeric value to text.
    If the cell has a value of "1" I want it to read "PbOn"
    If the cell has a value of "0" I want it to read "PbOff"
    I don't know how to formulate the cell to accomplish this.
    Thanks for any help.
    Dave

    You could use a custom number format:
    "PbOn";;"PbOff"

    don't know if this is what you want

    =if(A1=1,"PbON","PbOff")
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Or maybe!

    =IF(A1=1,"PbOn",IF(A1=0,"PbOff",""))
