I have a number in a1 which is 500. Is there a way I can leave the 500 in

line, but when I insert the formula it doesnt work.

It's not clear to me why you would want to do this; perhaps an easier to
implement solution would become apparent if you were to explain that.

If you were to change the "500", you would also need to re-enter the formula.
This might cause difficulties in the future.

The cleanest method would be to use a separate cell to hold your formula.

In that cell might be a formula similar to:

="500 " & a1+b1
