Text in custom format not showing up in cell results ... (?)

[StargateFan]

Wonder what I'm doing wrong this time ... ? <g> I've used this
technique so many times before but today it isn't working.

In cell B2 I have this formula: =(B1*16)
The custom format for this cell is, instead of just number: @" units"
All I get in B2 is a number, 32 in this case, but not " units" after
it.

What am I missing pls?

Thanks! D

Hi,

You can use following:-
=(B1*16)&" Units"
For custom format, you should use following format.
?" Units"
--
Click on Yes, if it is useful.

###" units"

Hi, thanks. Will try this again. I keep running into this problem so
I have to remember that @ is for text is ### is for numbers. Makes
sense. Never was conscious of this before, I guess.

Will try it out
