    If Function Possibilities

    Is there a way to set up in a cell A1, something like...

    If the formula used in cell B1 is "here I would type the actual formula in,"
    then display the words "works," else display "mistake"


    ?

    That's a pretty cryptic post. Do you mean:

    In A1:

    =IF(B1=n,"Works","Mistake") where 'n' is the desired result of the formula in B1?

    so that if B1 is =2*4

    and your formula in A1 is =IF(B1=8,"Works","Mistake") , A1 would show "Works"

    Not sure if this is whatyou are looking for but I frequently use this
    in my vlookups:

    =If(ISNA(vlookup()),"mistake",vlookup(works))

    You can also use =IF(iserr(yourFormula),mistake,works)
