Hi
How to put text with a formula. I want to say

"The total is" = sum(1,2)

Thank you

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN

Thanks you for the help. I have a text box, and I link the box to cell A1
So I clicked on the boarder of the box and then typed in the formula box ="hello" & A1
but excel did not like it

Thanks

Here's more complete directions.

Type the formula ="Hello "&A1 into a cell, say B1. Then select the text box. Now click into the formula bar. Type =B1 in the formula bar and press enter. The correct text should show in the text box.
