String + a number (Expression syntax problem)

[#1]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to write something like this...
Total sales: num(sum( {$<Region= {'Tristate'} >} [Sales] ),'##,###.##')

Where total sales: is a string. How do I form them together? I would like to display it in a textbox!

Thanks for anyone who can help!

= 'Total sales: ' & num(sum( {$<Region= {'Tristate'} >} [Sales] ),'##,###.##')
