mschmidt[ at ]carolina.rr.com 08.07.2006 18:32:21
How can I display the contents of a cell in another as part of a text
string.

Such as... "The answer is "B4""

where B4 is the contents of cell B4?

Thanks

Note <space> after "is".

Try

="The answer is "&B4

or, if you want to format B4 in a specific way e.g. with 2 decimal places something like

="The answer is "&TEXT(B4,"###.00") -- daddylonglegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daddylonglegs's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=30486 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=559641
