I am trying to add cells together that contain text as well as numbers. For example. Cell d8 has 310 mins, d9 has 30 mins, d10 has 10 mins. I want to get the sum plus have the mins after it. How do I do that? Any help would be appreciated.

hi Pippy34. welcome to the forum. the best way is not to write as text. right-click D8:D10 & format cells -> Custom Format:
#" mins"
you can now type in just numbers in those cells & "mins" will show up. adding them would be easier now
