perfect! thanks that worked, except now any cells referencing this cell read
"value" because there are two values. how can i tell it to choose just one?

eg: 18 min. = $19.49
i want a cell to read $19.49 only.

Excel won't split up a value into the formatting "parts" ## and $##.## - you
need to do the whole thing in the formula:
=F28&" min. = "&TEXT(FIXED(D30/60,3)*F28,"$##.##")

my cell is custom formatted to read, "## "min. =" $##.##"
my formula is =FIXED(D30/60,3)*F28
the cell reads min. = $19.49

what i'm missing is the number of minutes, which is displayed in cell F28.
so i just need to reference that cell at the start of my formula. the
question is how?!

thanks for any help.
