I have a spreadsheet that has a cell with the answer to a formula, I would
like to add some text to this cell explaining what the answer is??

Does anyone have any ideas, I've tried changing the format to text and
simply just typing it but have had no success??

HELP?

If the cell returns a number:

=a1+a2 +N("this is a comment describing the function")

if the cell returns text:

=a1&": "&text(a2,"mm/dd/yyyy") & text("this is a comment",";;;")

Use the "&" symbol
E.g.,
="The value of the first cell is "&A1
or
=A1&" is the value of first cell, and the second cell is "&B2

Simply change the text to whatever you want, and replace cell references
with your formula.
