How do I use variables in Excel?

[XUT67]

How Can I accomplish this, say this is field A1:

The %product% only costs %price%. Order today, we only have %qty%
left!

--------------
Obvoiusly the words enclosed in % % are the variables that I want
replaced.
Is there way that I can make fields B, C, and D equal the corresponding
variables?

For example,

B1= Dog collar
C1= $9.99
D1= 20

So then A1 becomes:

The dog collar only costs $9.99. Order today, we only have 20 left!

I'm open to trying ANY method that can allow me to use variables in
Excel.

Thanks.

Okay.
="The "&b1&" only costs "&c1&". Order today, we only have "&d1&"!"

You can refer to A1, B1 etc. as Anne shows, but you could also use named
ranges. Insert>name>define on a cell, you can call it something that makes
more sense like "price", "qty" etc. Then in your formula you just say:

="The "&product&" is not in stock, but we have "&qty&" on order."
