How do I combine text and formula within the same cell?
Another way to give the amount a nice format:
="Total cost of project: " & text(sum(a2:a10),"$#,##0.00") But you could keep the value in the cell a number and use a custom format: Put =sum(a2:a10) in the cell Format|Cells|Number tab|custom| "Total cost of project: " $#,##0.00 Office wrote: if I wanted to have the word TOTAL or any other general text (eg Total cost of project) then a formula that sums a number of values total =SUM(A2:A10) in the SAME cell Everything I have tried to do this either end up with the text staying and the formula doesn't calculate....or the text is removed and the formula calculates Your help would be greatly appreciated :) -- Dave Peterson |
