[SOLVED] How do I use variables in Excel?

How Can I accomplish this, say this is field A1:

The %product% only costs %price%. Order today, we only have %qty%
left!

--------------
Obvoiusly the words enclosed in % % are the variables that I want
replaced.
Is there way that I can make fields B, C, and D equal the corresponding
variables?

For example,

B1= Dog collar
C1= $9.99
D1= 20

So then A1 becomes:

The dog collar only costs $9.99. Order today, we only have 20 left!

I'm open to trying ANY method that can allow me to use variables in
Excel.

Thanks.

Hi XUT67,

One answer I believe your looking for is:

=CONCATENATE("The ",B1," only costs ",C1,". Order today, we only have
",D1," left!.")


Hope that helps.

To get the dollars to show up with the $ use this:
="The " & B1 &" cost only " & DOLLAR(C1,2) & ". Order today, we have
only " & D1 & " left!."
Grammatically correct also. I minored in English!
