Excel: Allow combination of formula answer and text in one cell
It would be helpful and space saving to be able to have a cell calculate a
formula, and then allow text before or after the answer. For example: the cell may contain a formula that reads =sum(B1:B14) where the answer is 2.49. I want the cell to SHOW "2.49 per unit" ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
