Text in formula
I want to display the sentence "Average Total Accounts: Oct - Apr"
based on a formula. A23 = November-05 So far, I have the formula ="Average Total Accounts: "&TEXT(A23-1, "mmm") which displays "Average Total Accounts: Oct", so I know I'm close. Where I'm having a problem is adding the " - " between Oct and Apr and adding the formula to display Apr. |
