Adding Cells that Contain Text
Maybe approaching this from the other end is easier.
With just the digit 5 in cell A1, you can display
(5 - Oranges)
with this formula
="("&text(A1,"#")&" - Oranges)"
Cell A1 is still a number that can be acted upon with all the Excel operators

Is there anyway that I can add two cells ie.
cell 1 - (5 - Oranges)
cell 2 - (6 - Grapes)
and get a sum of 11 in the third cell...i cant just use the sum
function because of the text being in the cells
