Default Formula to add text after a sum

I have a time calculated cell for example =Sum(G2:G364) my result is 210
minutes, then I have another cell that divides it by 60 with a result of 3.5
I would like to add the hrs indicator behind this so that I will see 3.5 hrs

Thank you in advance for any assistance that you can provide

use =Sum(G2:G364)&" hrs"

Be aware that this converts the rsult into text, which cannot be used a
value anymore.

You have two options:

1) =G365/60&" hrs"

2) = G365/60
FormatNumberCustomized
0,00" hrs"

Personnaly, I prefer #2

Here's one option....

Select the cell...then...

From the Excel main menu:
<format<cells<number tab
Category: Custom
Type: General" hrs"
Click the [OK] button

While the value in the cell will still be numeric, it will display as: 3.5
hrs.

Does that help?
