Default Combination Formula

Cell M35 and K48 contain numbers. I want to put a text box in a chart
saying: "Permanent Occupancy" and the K35 value, "Temporary Occupancy" and
the K48 value. The result would be like: Permanent Occupancy 100, Temporary
Occupancy 245. What would the formula be?

Type this formula in the formula bar:

="Permanent Occupancy:" & K35 & ", Temporary Occupancy:" & K48
use quotes to define text, and the & to concatenate with formulae.

Default Combination Formula

You need to construct your string in a cell and then reference the results
with the textbox on the chart.

You need to put that formula in a separate cell, for example K50

then select the chart and in the formula bar put in
=Sheet1!K50

You can't have complex formulas in textboxes.
