Sentence from excel data
How i can make sentence in 9B update automatically as when cost changes in C column(Column D is formula too)?
Please can someone share formula for it 🙂
Dag470 I made a start in the attached example and suggest that you finish it yourself. Note that I used a helper column that generates the (£0.5k) type notation. You can do that in B9 as well but then the formula becomes much longer and more difficult to maintain.

- Dag470Copper ContributorThank you, works perfect 🙂
In B9:
=B3&" "&TEXT(ABS(C3),"£0.0,k")&" "&D3&" / "&B4&" "&TEXT(ABS(C4),"£0.0,k")&" "&D4&" / "&B5&" "&TEXT(ABS(C5),"£0.0,k")&" "&D5&" / "&B6&" "&TEXT(ABS(C6),"£0.0,k")&" "&D6&" / "&B7&" "&TEXT(ABS(C7),"£0.0,k")&" "&D7
or if you have Microsoft 365, Office 2019 or Office 2021:
=TEXTJOIN(" / ",TRUE,B3:B7&" "&TEXT(ABS(C3:C7),"£0.0,k")&" "&D3:D7)
