You mean you want to link the textbox to a cell? Select the textbox, then
type = in the formula bar and click on the cell.

You cannot build a full-fledged formula in a textbox like this; build the
formula in a worksheet cell, and link the textbox to this cell.

I want to create a separate little box on my chart that will contain a
formula that references cells not necessarily contained in the data
ranges.
Microsoft Excel 2002 on a WinXP SP-2 operating system. It would look like
a
text box in the upper right corner of the chart, but would contain a
formula,
NOT TEXT.
