# Joining Static and Dynamic Text

Now we're going to use Dynamic Value again to display a message to the app user. We want to summarise their order details using a read-only Text field.

Add a new Text field to your Form, set the Data Name to be "orderSummary".

Find the Read Only property and tick the box.  
This will make the field read-only, so the user cannot change the displayed answer text.

Find the Dynamic Value property and enter the following formula:  
**CONCAT('You ordered ', {{numberItems}}, ' of ', {{productName}}, '. Total (including tax) is: ', {{totalIncludingTax}})**

What we're doing with the above formula is building up dynamic text, by concatenating together pieces of text.

The [CONCAT()](https://help.formsfly.com/en/article/concat) function is used to build up the final text, and we are using the values from the various fields (the {{dataName}} bits).

If you’d like to try the above example out for yourself, download the [attached CSV file](https://formsfly.com/assets/DynamicValueExample.csv).
