    Cell: Data from Pivot + Text

    Hello Friends,

    How can I add some text to my Data in a cell?

    The cell contains a number from another table atm, format: ='Business Line (3)'!I5

    Is it possible to add a "mio €" to the value?


    Thank you very much for the help!

    I tried that approach, but I am getting an Error Message: "The formula is missing an area reference or a defined name"

    Not sure how I can make a Sample Workbook out of it.

    It works when I try the formula on a basic Sheet with no references to Input from other Sheets etc.
    So I think it might be a problem based on the Data it gets or the cross-reference (Worksheet 1 has Data from Pivot, Worksheet 2 takes Data from Worksheet 1 etc.)


    Edit: I think the problem might be related to the number being a part of a Chart or graphic?

    Try using custom formatting.
    Select the cell that contains the ='Business Line (3)'!I5 formula
    Press Ctrl + 1
    Select Custom
    In the Type window put: "mio €" 0
    Select OK
    Let us know if you have any questions.
