You cannot change a cell in Excel with a formula in the cell. You can
however change another cell with a formula based on a cell. For example, if
the value in cell A1 is a 6, put a 3 in cell B1. But you cannot change cell
A1 to be 3 if cell A1 is a 6. That is called a circular reference. It's like
saying: I have a formula, and if the formula produces the answer 6, replace
the formula with the value 3. The formula is gone.

Sorry if question is not clear. if cell is 48" or less I want to add 3" to
the cell examples (48+3=51) (25 + 3 =28) if cell is 49 or greater the I want
to add 6" to cell (50 +6 =56) ... in one cell (c11) I will put the number in
a different cell (D15) I want the answer

If your data is in Column A Starting with A1, in B1 put
"=IF(A1>=49,A1+6,A1+3)"
without quotes.
