Default How do I insert a symbol as part of a formula

I don't really understand your example but why not just have "exceeded time
limit" or "didn't exceed time limit" appear depending upon the situation.

Hey Guys,

Is it possible for me to insert a "smiley face" or "sad face" symbol in
blank cell next a cell that has a formula in it? For instance, if the time
in cell A1 is 2:00 (minutes) but the limit is 1:30, how can I put a "sad
face" symbol in the blank cell B1 automatically, see below for an example:

Cell A1 has a time of 2:20 PM (the maximum time should be 1:30 - this limit
is not in the spreadsheet). I want to have cell B1 automatically populate a
"sad face" because the maximum was over 50 minutes OR

Cell A1 has a time of 1:20 pm (the maximum time should be 1:30 - this limit
is not in the spreadsheet). I want to have cell B1 automatically populate a
"smiley face" because the limit was under the required 1:30.

Does this make sense? This is a spreadsheet that calculates the time
someone arrives to a clinic and time they leave, the maximum should be 1 hour
30 minutes for the person to go through the procedure but sometimes it does
not happen within that time, I want the spreadsheet to show when it does and
doesn't with the "smiley face" symbol.

I hope this was explained correctly, any help would be greatly appreciate!
