Cell including text and multiple formulas?
Hi,
Is it possible to have a sentence in a cell (A1) that picks up values from several cells elsewhere on the spreadsheet? E.g. A1 reads: There was x dogs walking with y owners past z lamp posts. Where x,y and z are values pulled from a seperate sheet within the spreadsheet. And the rest of the text is entered in cell A1 Many thanks, James |
