You are getting a circular reference because your formula in A1 is using its
own value to generate a result, which is returned to A1. This is a strange
request, but here is one way to accomplish it (without a circular reference):

The cell (A1) where you want to do this must be formatted to wrap text.

In a VBA module in your workbook, enter this user-defined function:

Function AddToCell(Value1 As Double, Value2 As Double) As String
AddToCell$ = Value1 & vbCrLf & (Value1 + Value2)
End Function

Then, call AddToCell in A1 ilke this:
=AddToCell(500,B1)
where B1 contains 100.

I have 500 already in place. What I want to do is keep the number 500, then
on top of that create a formula that adds a1 and b1 together. So I want to
look like
500
600

I have 500 in a1 and 100 in b1. Does that make sense?

if its giving you 5000, it means its working,
i am sure u dont have any number on A1 and A2, so adding them is 0,
which is why its giving you 500 with a zero in the side, shows up as 5000.

I just tried it on 03 and it didnt work either it returned 5000 back

hmm, it works fiine in mine, are you using excel 2007?

try adding brackets and quatation signs, for example
="500"&(A1+A2)

When I tried that it said it was a circular reference and it came back 0

"Raz" wrote:

try this:
=500&A1+A2

If you want space between two then use this

=500&" "&A1+A2

You can add as many equations or text as u like, just add &

Let me know it it worked
