Default Text plus formula

Is there a way to have a formula and some text after the formula in the same
cell?

Default Text plus formula

If you mean text that shows in the cell then something like:

=SUM(A1:A20)&" Total of Column"

if you mean text that will not show in the cell then something like:

=Sum(A1:A20)+N("This is an explantion of what the formula does")

Like this

=A1+A2 & " My formula adds up A1 and a2"
