Units in function cells

Hello
We have a column of numbers totalled using the SUM function.

We want the total to have the unit (m2) after the number, in the same cell. How can we do this please?

thanks

RE: units in function cells

Hi Liz

Thank you for your question.

Say your SUM function is adding together cells D7 to D9, then the formula to add m2 onto the end of the formula result will look like this:

=SUM(D7:D9)&" m2"

which will display the formula result followed by a space and then m2

If you don't want the space between the result and the m2 then use

=SUM(D7:D9)&"m2"

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:

Closing all your workbooks Quickly

Hold the SHIFT key down and using the mouse click on the file menu, it will now now CLOSE ALL rather than close. This closes all workbooks down but still leaves the application open.
