    Arvi - thanks for that timely reply. It works, however, on the worksheet
    the data shows up as a number instead of currency. IOW, in cell l32, it had
    a sum of $273.88.

    The number listed in L38 shows up as 273.878476190476. Doesn't show up as
    currency and takes up too much space in the cell.

    I've tried to format L38 in different number formats - currency, accounting,
    special and it doesn't change the number.

    Any additional suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Bob

    Hi

    =TEXT(A1;"$#.00")
    = "Annually, at the " & TEXT(L32;"$#.00") & " weekly figure:"

    Format affects only the cell, it is applied to. Really it affects how data
    in formatted cell are displayed, not the data itself. I.e. when you format
    the cell with number 2 as currency, it is displayed as $2.00, but really the
    cell contains the number 2. Format ther same cell as date - and 2nd January
    of 1900 is displayed, etc. When you reference the cell, then the source
    format is not inherited.

    Thanks again for the reply Arvi, but the above isn't working. I've done a
    copy & paste on the formula above, formatted the cell for text, then tried
    currency and neither one works. Is it possible that there is an extra space
    character I need to take out?

    Thanks, Bob

    Sorry!

    Replace semicoons in formula with commas!

    Thanks Arvi - I just figured it out myself using this formula

    ="Annually, at the "&TEXT(L32,"$0.00")&" weekly figure:" and formatting cell
    as currency.

    Didn't see any semi colons in your formulas.

    Again, thanks for leading me towards the right direction.

    Regards, Bob

    Possible to insert cell data in the middle of line of text?

    Hi folks,

    Using Excel 2003. Would like to know whether it's possible to include the
    results listed in one cell, in the middle of a line of text in another cell.

    IOW, the results are listed in cell L32.

    The line of text is in L38. I've tried doing - "Annually, at the
    (=SUM(L32)) weekly figure:" - but obviously, that doesn't work.

    TIA for any info you can provide.

    Bob
