Hi, Using Excel 2000

I just want to know if it's possible to combine a string with the result of a function inside a cell? Here's an example of the result I want :

+- Result of a simple calculation

Hope this is clear and thx in advance


 
This should work...

="+-"&A1

Another, probably better option, is to format the cell...

Custom format... +- #,##0

Hope this helps :-)

Hi,

Like that:

="Your salary is: " & TEXT(A1+B1,"$ 0.00")
