i'm trying to make a question in an excel quiz so that it calculates
the answer within a formula

here is an example

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k9...remans/img.jpg

where the ****'s are, i want it to calculate 30-B13 (the destination
cell) inside the same formula, as the value_if_false.

how would i go about doing this?

One way:

....,"You need to do " & 30 - B13)

more exersize per day" in that formula.

The same way you put "you need to do" before the result. Why would it be any
different? Try:

.... "You need to do " & 30 - b13 & "minutes more exercise per day")

like this:
...., "You need to do " & 30 - B13 & " minutes more exercise per day.")

the ampersand (&) says to concatenate values together into one long string
of text.
