What Ron meant was if you entered Max's formula of

="Cost at "&TEXT(E7,"$#,##0.00") &"/hour"

You could not use that cell in calculations.

If you custom formatted a cell as Ron suggested, the cell could be used in
calculations because it is not text.

I don't understand. Why would I not just use E7 in any further
calculations?
