Default How do I make 1 = "yes"?

That's very cool Nick, and certainly a keeper. It does exactly what the OP
asks for, however, it will also return a "no" for any other number besides 0,
1, or2 in my XL97. Is there a way to change it to allow the other numbers to
show as typed?

There is this ancient Format feature where you can specify up to 3 conditions plus an Else branch.

FormatCellsNumber tab, Custom. In the Type box, enter something like

[=1]"yes";[=2]"Not enough info";"no"
