Default inline calculations possible?


If i have a string of text within a cell, is there a way to place either
values or calulations within that string? For example i'd like to put
the following line at the top of a mortgage payment sheet i'm working
on...

If you pay $[monthly payment] each month, the loan will be paid off in
[balance/12] years...

Obviously that's simplified and doesn't take interest into account, but
i hope it illustrates my purpose?

How about:

="there are only "&DATEDIF(TODAY(),DATE(2006,12,25),"d")&" Left to Christmas"

another option is to use a custom format. This will display text but allow
the value to be used in other calculations
