    Insert multiple texts in sum function to label what figures are for

    I am wanting to add numerous texts to a cell inside of a sum function to label what each figure is for so I can do research in the future.

    Example:

    I normally do =sum(800+900+90) These would be for "structure" "doors" "windows" etc. I would still like only the number to show up in the cell, but when cell is clicked on, it would show the text as well as numbers for backup purposes. I need to also be able to have the end resulting number be in currency if possible.

    =sum(800"structure"+900"doors"+90"windows")
    Answer in that cell would be $1,790

    Thank you for your help.

    Should I re-post in the programming/vba section? I am indeed looking for helpful threads. Thank you for your quick response on a Saturday night!
