So what do you want to have displayed in that cell? Any formula 
defines what is displayed. What would be the function of the additional text?

If you need a function reference, as here, but want the displayed 
result to contain additional material, you need to include that 
material inside the formula containing the function. You can 
concatenate text with a function result using the CONCATENATE() 
function, or more simply using the "&" operator. Any non-text value, 
such as a number, is implicitly converted to text to enable this. For example,
=SQRT(3+1)
displays
2
whereas
="The square root of 3+1 is "&SQRT(3+1)&"."
displays
The square root of 3+1 is 2.

I trust this helps.
