Default Applying a cell format within a Formula

Does anyone know how to apply a format within a formula? such that the
result can determine the cell format?

Default Applying a cell format within a Formula

result. Perhaps conditional formatting is something you should be

Perhaps you are thinking of Conditional Formatting, located on the Format menu
