Default Can a cell in excel contain text and have a formula included?

I want to have a string of text where the formula is included that will pull
information from another cell.
ie: The number of attendees for training was (formula), which dropped from
the last session.

Like this:

="The number of attendees for training was " & (formula) & ", which dropped
from
the last session."

And if you need to format the quantity or date:

="The number... " & text(a1,"#,##0.00") & ", which..." & text(b1,"mm/dd/yyyy")
