Thank you, that was very simple and very helpful.

Dr.,

Probably the best way to add your suffix is with the number formatting of
the cell. With the cells selected, Format - Cells - Number - Custom.
append the following to whatever is in the box:

" hrs"

If there are semicolons in the current formatting stuff, put the above in
front of each semicolon, as well as at the end. If this doesn't work, post
back with the current formatting code, and we'll go from there.

With this method, your total remains a number, which can be used by other
formulas if needed.

I would like to add a suffix <<< "hrs" to some fields. The fields are
the
result of Formulas <<< "=SUM(C11:C42)" I would like the field to be
displayed as the resultant number (49) & the desired text (hrs) = 49 hrs.

Is there a means to do this?
