Default MAX across worksheet, return text value

In A2 type something like this

=CONCATENATE("The Toal Value is ",A1)

or simply

="The Toal Value is "&A1

Make sure you have the equal sign.

Hi, need some help.

I have 20 worksheets, with an additional sheet as the 'Summary' page. I have
a formula in cell A2 which returns the MAX value of the same cell in 20
worksheets (sandwiched between 'dummy' worksheets titled 'Start' and 'End').
Formula is =MAX(Start:End!$N$1)

The value returned will always be a numerical. For the cell (B2) in
'Summary', i would like it to display the text of cell AA in the 20
worksheets which matches the MAX value returned. Is this possible?
