I think that perhaps if A1 were 0,
The plural might be proper -

0 cats appeared today.
not
0 cat appeared today.

Therefore, maybe:

=If(A1=1,B1,B1&"s")

=IF(A11,B1&"s",B1)
but note that if B1 has "mouse", this formula would return "mouses", not
"mice".

i have 2 columns of cells.
column ONE is numeric (1,2,3,etc)
column TWO is text (group, trip, etc)
what forumla can i use to make column TWO to be plural based upon whether
column ONE is greater than one or not?

thanks!
