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.

Excel tip:

Showing all menu items

If you go into a pull down menu you usally find that you get a selection of items(this is the default) or sometimes everything. If you only get a selectiopn you have to go to the double arrows at the bottom of the menu and click it to get all of the hidden items.
To turn this off so that you always get everything, go to Tools / Customize / Options Tab / "Always show full menus". Make sure there is a tick in the box and you will always have every item.
