Can you put a formula in the middle of text?
 

In cell F2 of a sheet named "main flash" I want to have it display the
following:

"for week 42 ending"

The week 42 part would come from another sheet named "actuals" that's
in the same workbook.

Hi

You could do something like this:
="for week "&E2&" ending"

="for week " & actuals!x99 & " ending"

You could even do:

="Please pay me by: " & text(a1,"mm/dd/yyyy")

to get the formatting the way you want.

Can you put a formula in the middle of text?
 

would the same formula/method apply for making a chart haeading label
responsive?

My chart is driven by the vaue of A1 which is defined by a combo box. I
would like the chart heading to look something like

= "estimated VAT For" & A1

Hi

I don't think so. Have a look here for a pretty exhaustive site on charts:

The way I accomplished this was to tuck the source for the chart title away
in a cell (say B30) in a hidden row (30) and then refer the chart title box
to that:
B30 ="estimated VAT For" & A1
Chart Title reference: =Sheet1!B30 <--Sheetname needed for some reason.
Once you place your formula in the cell you will eventually hide (for
cosmetic reasons), you can click the Chart Title box, type =, and click the
cell with the formula and the sheet name will automatically be added.
Hope I haven't confused you too much.
