thanks for replying maybe i do need a VB sample.
Maybe I originally explained it To simply :(
Basically instead of hello i really want to print an address on a different
sheet(one address line per cell vertically) but i have about 100 different
addresses.
Example:

IF cell a2 on sheet 1 says "1" then copy the address (cells a1 to a5 on sheet
1) to cells d1 to d5 on sheet 2

if cell A2 on sheet 1 says "54" then copy THAT address (cells a1 to a5 on
sheet 1) to cells d10 to d15 on sheet 2
ANYONES HELP WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED thanks

You can put a formula in cell A2:

=if(A1=1,"Hello","")

And cell F6 would have the formula:

=if(A1=5,"Hello","")

If you did not want to put formulas into all of the cells you want the
message to appear then you would have to use some VBA. I could provide some
sample codes, but for a new user this might be a little overwhelming.

to different cells (depending on what number is put in the cell)

EXAMPLE :
if the cell contains "1" then paste "hello" in cell A2

if cell contains "5" then paste "hello" in cell F6
