if you are typing 2 in cell A1, and want "hello world" to appear in cell B1, then in b1 you need to enter a formula
=if(a1=2, "hello world", "")

it says
if a1 is 2, then show hello world
if a1 is not 2, then show nothing or a blank string


now if you are typing 2 in cell a1, and want hello world to appear in a1 itself, then you have to use macro.
