Default How to imbed a cell reference in a text field?

Hi

Another alternative, with a slight difference in layout would be to
Custom format the cell.
FormatCellsNumberCustom #0.00 "$ Cost / hour"

Then in the cell just enter
=E7

The possible advantage is the number value generated from the E7 value
is still a number and can be used in further calculation if required.

Something like: "Cost at [E7] / hour.", where "[E7]" gets replaced by
the value in cell E7.


I found the answer. Use the concatenate function:

=CONCATENATE("Cost at $",E7,"/hour.")

Thanks
