You can use Conditional Formatting, and set it so *both* B7 *and* the cell
containing your IF() formula will change color, so that the number in B7
53 and the text "Critical" will highlight.

Click in B7, hold down <Ctrl, and click in the cell containing your IF()
formula, then:

<Format <ConditionalFormat

Click "Formula Is", and enter this in the formula box:

=$B$753

Then click on "Format", and maybe set the Pattern to red and the Font to
bold and bright yellow, then <OK <OK.

I need to have a cell change color or flash when the water level reaches a
certain critical depth on a pumping spreadsheet so the operator is aware
of a
problem!
