cell value plus text
I would like to know how to get the value from one cell (C81) entered into
another cell (N81) and then have text after that value. For example, if C81=2, I need N81 to have 2 plus text (2 oranges). If this is not possible, I do have the text in the first row and could reference that cell, but then would need to know how to string the two cells of text together (i.e. C81=2 and C1=oranges so N81=2 oranges).

Try one of these:
=C81&" oranges" Or, using a cell to hold oranges: C1 = oranges =C81&" "&C1 -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Deanna" wrote in message ...

You can also use Custom Formatting Format/Cells/Number Custom; Insert the format as 0 " oranges". This will show "oranges", but as it holds a numerical value, it means you can calculate with it as normal. -- mdmackillop ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mdmackillop's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=113 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=67321
