You can only display the result of a formula in a cell: if the result is "G" then it will display "G" (using a "regular" font...)

If you set the font correctly then you might be able to have your formula return the "dot" plus a variable number of trailing spaces
and then use those different return values in a conditional format setup. That will be limited to only 3 colors though.

I would like to be able to create a formula where, depending on the result of
the formula, the cell would display a green, blue, red, or yellow a colored
dot.

For example, if the formula result was equal to "G", then a green dot ?
would automatically display in the cell. Or if the formula result was equal
to "B", then a blue dot ? would automatically display in the cell...etc.

Any ideas on whether or not this is possible?
