Default Adding text to equal text

You could use an IF function. For example if A1:yellow and B1:green, and you
wanted C1 to say blue, then you could try the formula
=IF(A1="yellow",IF(B1="green","Blue",""),""). This formula would return Blue
in whatever cell you placed it in (C1 in this example), and would return
nothing if either A1:B1 was different or blank.
I hope this helps!

Is ther a way to add two cells with text to equal another cell that contains
text?

basic example:

cell:yellow + cell:green = cell:blue

I have multiple choices for information that I would like to be able to add
together (ex. yellow and green)to equal an already established answer,(ex.
blue). Can I assign numeric values to these text cells so a formula will work?
