How about putting a formula in B1:
=if(a1<=24,"","You need to use: "&text(a1-24,"#,##0")&" hours or lose them!")

Hello,
I'd like to write an error notice for our time sheets. I'd like to warn the
user that if
A124, then he needs to use A1-24 hours of leave which otherwise will be lost.

Thanks in advance,
Ellen
