Excel Question

Does anyone know if you can / how to reference a a number from cell A into a string of text in cell B? Example:

Cell A has: 7%

We want Cell B to reference that number in the middle of a sentence, ie: The cap rate used is 7% (Cell A).

So that any time the number in Cell A is changed it'll update in the full sentence in Cell B.


Let me know if that makes sense, thanks so much!

 

This is the best way to do it dynamically for a long text string and allows you to have multiple cell references and easily edit the text. If it's just a short string like "Exit cap of 7%" you can also just custom format the cell, but it's more annoying to edit the text if needed later (not significantly).

Do not use CONCAT function mentioned elsewhere. It's a less efficient, less clean version of simply using quotation marks and ampersands.
