text and data in same cell

Yes - through concatenation.
=string&TEXT(value,format) or =TEXT(value,format)&
string, or any combination

string and value can be cell references. You might want
stick a &" "& in the middle for separation.

Hope this helps.

Entered in A1

="This is the total of these two cells " & A2 + A3

Where A2 and A3 contain numbers.

Your data and addresses may differ, but the basics are the same.

ok that worked, but I cant seem to do anything with the # in that cell.
I cant say use the # inside the cell with text & #s in a formula i
another cell. It gives me #VALUE!. any idea

Right. The data is now text.

You can use a Custom Format instead.

"The Total is "#,###.00
