=sum(a1:a5)&"+(b5)"
 

Hello!

As you can see, I'm trying to do a sum, add a text, and select from
another area.

I would like it to simply look like this:

54 + 3

for the answer.

However, this so far is an impossibility, as I can only do
=sum(A1:A5)&"+(B5)" and it will show *54 + (B5)* just like that.

So my fellow excellers, what to do in this situation!

=sum(a1:a5)&"+(b5)"
 

in A1:B5

21 0
2 0
3 0
8 0
20 3

somewhere else:
=SUM(A1:A5) & "+" & TEXT(B5,0) will display 54+3

Thanks! Option 2 worked out how I wanted it. It shows that staying up
from 10:00 PM Friday to 12:00 PM Saturday working on huge databases
will lead to a soggy brain and mistakes.
