    Red face Text and Formula in same Cell

    I need to have a cell that contains text and the results of another cell which should for example read as follows;

    Total Cost of Orders Issued (233)

    the number 233, is the result of a forumula in another cell.

    I can do it for a date as follows but not sure on how to reference another cell

    For example:
    ="Total Cost of Orders Issued (" & B1 & ")"
    Everyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.

    Try this

    ="PROPERTIES ON SITE AS OF "&TEXT(TODAY(),"dd/mm/yyyy")&" "&D4

    where the formula is in D4

    @romperstomper - spot on exactly what I need!!

    Another scenario I have is where I also need to include text inside the brackets after the cell reference had a 'fiddle' but couldn't get it to work.

    @edvwvw again, spot on, thank you.

    Do you mean:
    ="Total Cost of Orders Issued (" & B1 & " some more text here)"
