You cannot change a cell in Excel with a formula in the cell. You can
however change another cell with a formula based on a cell. For example, if
the value in cell A1 is a 6, put a 3 in cell B1. But you cannot change cell
A1 to be 3 if cell A1 is a 6. That is called a circular reference. It's like
saying: I have a formula, and if the formula produces the answer 6, replace
the formula with the value 3. The formula is gone.

to add 6" to cell (50 +6 =56) ... in one cell (c11) I will put the number in

If your data is in Column A Starting with A1, in B1 put
"=IF(A1=49,A1+6,A1+3)"
without quotes.
