Alignment for a cell during an if statement.
 
I want the alignment for a cell to be right justified for one result of the
if statement, but left justified for the other result. Any ideas?

Use conditional formatting...
Choose one format for one result and another for another result

o.k. but how do I code that in the IF statement.

Don't change your IF statement

Suppose you have this in A1
=IF(B1=10,"B1 is 10","B1 is not 10")

Select A1
Choose Format-Conditional Formatting
Choose 'cell values is' 'equal to' B1 is 10
and choose formatting

add a condition and repeat for B1 is not 10.

Are you sure that alignment can be used as a result of conditional
formatting, Sheeloo? Which version of Excel? I can't find any such ability
in Excel 2003.

When you are in the conditional formatting menu, it does not allow you to
select cell alignment. Only font, border and color.

Sorry for wasting your time... I forgot about that.
Excel 2007 (which I normally use) has a NUMBER tab also where you can format
using CUSTOM formatting.

I was wrong.

Excel 2007 does have an extra Number tab
