Default custom label

here is a sample of what i'm working on

$255 $20 $21 $22
10 (2,145) (1,845) (1,545)
12 (1,905) (1,545) (1,185)
14 (1,665) (1,245) (825)
16 (1,425) (945) (465)
18 (1,185) (645) (105)

I need the 255 to say customers ( that sell has a formula of =b22)

I hope this helps out a little better
