Default IF-THEN & Conditional Format Label

may be taking a helper column and concatenate A and B into that column.

Hi! I'm struggling with how to put the correct unit of measure on a number.
In some cases the unit of measure is grams. In other cases, the unit of
measure is mililiters. I was planning on having a hidden column that would
hold the letter "g," the letters "mL" (or that might be empty --
ACCIDENTALLY, of course).

Example

A1 = 6, B1 = mL
A2 = 10, B2 = g

Column B would be hidden (not visible)

An IF-THEN formula gets me part of the way. But how do I do the Custom
Format label like you'd see if you clicked on the following ...

Format -- Cells -- Number -- Custom -- 0.0 "g"
-or-
Format -- Cells -- Number -- Custom -- 0.0 "mL"

I think I can figure out the IF-THEN part of things. It's just the labeling
I'm struggling with. I need to be able to do some math on the contents of
cells in Column A.

If anyone is able to point me in the right direction, it would be much
appreciated
