Is there way with a calculation to display the text in the same cell.

Say:

a1=1 b1=2 c1=3(Total)

In c1 say, could you get the cell to display: Total=3

Put this formula into C1:
="Total="&SUM(A1:B1)

But if you want C1 still to be a number (rather than a text field) for
further calculations, use C1 =A1+B1 and custom format as
"Total="0
