    Displaying Text

    Hi I want to sum a column and then display the result but in the same cell put some text:-

    A B C
    1 6 15 Running Total
    2 5
    3 4
    4
    5
    6


    Many thanks

    David

    Hi David,

    I can't see what data is in which columns due to the text alignment, but you can probably use something like:

    =SUM(A1:A6)&" Running Total"

    Hi

    Yes that works to get the text showing as well as the result, I need to show the figure as a currency but just formatting the cell doesnt work ?

    You can use the TEXT function to change the format of the results, like so:

    =TEXT(SUM(A1:A6),"$0.00")&" Running Total"
