You could also just use a formula like:

=E38
but give that cell a custom format
Format|cells|Number tab|Custom category:
"The Number of Occurences Reported is "0
Or if you like commas:
"The Number of Occurences Reported is "#,##0

By using the custom format, the value in the cell will still be a number. And
you can do more calculations with it if you want.

following words appear in the same cell The Number of Occurences Reported is
