See attached picture. Basically, is there a way to reference B2, i.e. the value 1592 in the comment/sentence written in D2? I don’t want to manually write 1592 in D2, but instead would like to reference B2. I of course know how to reference a value from different cell in an empty cell. But when there is text in the cell, I’m lost.
Thank you for any kind of help.
I tried the ordinary way to type =B2 in D2 but it didn’t want to reference the cell B2 🙁
>Solution :
String concatenation:
You can combine text with =...&... or the =CONCAT(..., ).
For example in this you could have either
="Purcahsed 2022-12-30: remaining value is "&B2&" out of 1791"
or
=CONCAT("Purcahsed 2022-12-30: remaining value is ", B2, " out of 1791")
If you wanted to make it more dynamic you could put the purchased date and initial value in their own columns, say E/F, and
=CONCAT("Purcahsed ", E2, ": remaining value is ", B2, " out of ", F2)
