Question : Text Box with Cell Reference *and* other text?

In excel, I can add a text box on a chart with a cell reference only.  I cannot however get that same text box to contain addtional text before and after the referenced info.

Does anyone know how to do this?
I have been using the workaround of having two text boxes overlapping (1 with the reference, and 1 with the other info), but the spacing and alignment is never perfect.

And please note, the referenced cell is on another worksheet.

Thanks for any help.

Hi iczky,

Then use the TEXT function as well.

="my opening text" & TEXT(thevalue,"#,##") & "my closing text"

You may need differing format arguments for the TEXT function depending on the chart. The above handles the example you provided.
