Default Formula

Could you write a formula to function as:
"A1 + B1 = 120"
- assuming B1 consists of numbers from 1 to 20, that means the formula
should calculate the value of A1 plus B1 (1, 2, ..20).
If the the summation becomes equal 120, then the sub-number of B1 (which is
any number between 1 to 20) otherwise blank.

Default Formula

Do you want this in code or as a formula?
Try
=IF(A1+B1<=120,"",B1)
or
=IF(A1+B1<=120,A1+B1,B1)
or
=IF(A1+B1<=120,A1+B1,IF(B1<=20,B1,""))

Thanks for your respond,

the cell B1 is a known number, and that is 20. consists of from b1 to b20.
Therefore, the formula should " A1 + (any one of the b1..b20) to be equal to
120.
I'm looking for any combination of A1 and b1..b20 in order to get total of
120.

Do you want to know which cell in B1:B20, when added to A1 gives you 120?
[This will happen only if A1 is between 100-119.]

If the number is in A1 then
="B"&(120-A1)
will give you the cell...

You can also use
=IF(AND(A1=100,A1<=119),"B"&(120-A1),"")
if the number in A1 can be outside the range 100-119
