    short answer...no, it's not possible with regular formulas and functions. you can have either a value in a cell or a formula...not both
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
