Mike,

If I understand your question, you want to do something like

="Some text "&A1&" more text"

Yes, depending what it is you have to deal with it differently


="So fair thou art my bonnie lass "&C3

or for a date

="So fair thou art my bonnie lass "&TEXT(C3,"mm/dd/yy")

so put the string in quotations and then concatenate with an ampersand

="So fair thou art my bonnie lass "&TEXT(C3,"mm/did/yy")&" So deep in love
am I"
 
Thanks! That works. One more question if I may, can
this number be formatted (like to currency)?>-----

Mike,

Sure, you can use the TEXT function to format the cell value any
way you want. For example,

="some text "&TEXT(A1,"$#,##0.00")&" more text"
