Is it possible to put separate functions in one cell....I am doing budgeting where I have the previous month's expense and then the current month's expense.....I would like to have it so i have the current expense in the cell and then in parentheses in the same cell the percentage change from the previous months.... i.e. $575 (-20%)
You can
This formaula displays the values of A1 & A2 in the one cell
=A1&" - "&A2

more like this is what I need
(A1)Month 1 Expense: 25
(B1)Month 2 Expense: 30
I want B1 to say..... 30 (+5)
5 being the difference between the two months in parentheses...and can you make a function where it does +'s and -'s?
THanks!

I did not give a detailed answer previously as I thought you might be able to see how to join various rsults from my reply
Lets see if I can explain this in a way you can understand
To calculate/display left part of cells display
To display the value of B1 you use
=B1
The above could be any formula like =SUM(B1:B16)
To Display/Calculate the right side of the cell display
to display the result of B1-A1 you use
=B1-A1
As we can not use cell formatting to display the final result in the format required we use the text command, list the format required
=TEXT(B1-A1,"+$#,##0.00;-$#,##0.00")
To wrap the rsults in () we join text and the above formula using & symbol
="(" &TEXT(B1-A1,"+$#,##0.00;-$#,##0.00") &")"
Join Left and Right Cell Display FormulasNow we join the left and right parts together and also add a space in front of the ( to help seperate the 2 displayed values
=B1&" (" &TEXT(B1-A1,"+$#,##0.00;-$#,##0.00") &")"
Note:-
Change formating as required
"+0;-0")
Text formatting may also needed to be added to the left part of the formula
