    Insert text before formula

    Hi guys,

    How do I insert text before my formula/?

    Currently I have this in my formula:


    =INDEX(S2:S9,T2)&":"&""&"Region"

    which returns S: Region

    I want my output to be: "Region: S"

    How do I write my formula to do this?

    Thank you!
    Thanks,

    R.
