Thumbs up Answer: My formula is =Sum(E38). How can I add text to the formula?

  1. To add text to a formula in a cell, use the "&" symbol to concatenate the text with the formula.
  2. Click on the cell where you have the formula =Sum(E38).
  3. Click on the formula bar at the top of the screen.
  4. Move the cursor to the beginning of the formula.
  5. Type the following text: "The Number of Occurrences Reported is -- ".
  6. Add the "&" symbol after the text.
  7. Type the original formula after the "&" symbol, like this:
    Code:
    &=Sum(E38)
    .
  8. Press Enter to save the formula.

The final formula should look like this: = "The Number of Occurrences Reported is -- "&Sum(E38).

This will display the text "The Number of Occurrences Reported is -- " followed by the result of the formula in the same cell.
