I know how to format numbers so that text appears in front of the number, but
I want that text to come from another location, like a NAME or another cell.
It would be impractical to type the text into each cell or to copy formats
around every time you want to change the text in front of the number.
Knowing how to do this for both NAMEs and References would be nice, but I
will take either at this point.

Are you talking about format numbers in formatcellnumbers or are you
talking about something like

="This is worth "&TEXT(A1,"$#,##0.00")

I assume the latter


=A2&" "&TEXT(A1,"$#,##0.00")


text in A2 and number in A1

You cannot use formatting with cell links if it was the former

Unfortunately, it was the former (formatcellnumbers). I am talking about
replacing the text portion of a number format that is typically placed in
quotes "Floor", with a reference to a cell or NAME where the word "Floor" is
typed in once, remotely, and can show up in front of a large group of numbers.

Thanks for the reply though.

Then a worksheet_change macro can work for you. Let us say the cell is
C1.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$C$1" Then
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("D1:D1000").NumberFormat = Chr(34) &
Range("C1").Value & Chr(34) & "0"
End If
End Sub

Does this help?
