Add text after a formula

To add more text to a formula result in an Excel cell, put an ampersand (&) outside the end of the formula, then put a quotation mark (").  Type in your additional text, then close with another quotation mark (").  For example:

=text(now()-day(now()),"mmmm")&" paycheck"

This will returned the name of the month followed by the word paycheck.  In December, it returned December paycheck.  Note that there is a space after the first quotation mark.  That is so there is a space between my result and my text.  Without it, I would get Decemberpaycheck.
