Default Formula help

I need help with the following;

I want to add cells C13 + C15 and their sum to be in C17.
However, C17s sum should show N/A until the sum is 6 or more at which time
the display in C17 should read REQUIRED and not a number.

Can this be done? If so what would be the formula?

Thanks in advance for your help.

In cell C17 enter the formula as follow

=if((C13+C15)<6,"N/A","REQUIRED")
If this was helpful please say yes, thanks

One way:

C17: =IF(C13+C15<6,"N/A","REQUIRED")

Another (if you really want the value of C13+C15 in C17):

C17: =C13+C15

Format the cell with Format/Cell/Number/Custom

[<6]"N/A";"REQUIRED"

Thank you all for your help. I used one and it works. I think both
responses had the same formula. Thanks again.
