    prepend text in a new cell when using another cell THIS DOESNT WORK =("PO BOX", AA271)

    I am trying to copy info from a cell into a new cell, and I would like help with prepending the newly populated cell with text. here is my thought on how it should work, but it doesnt.

    GIVEN
    A1 = 365

    then my thought was formula should look something like this -

    A2=("PO BOX", A1)

    giving me a new value of PO BOX 365

    Thanks in advance!
