So why can't we both have text and formulas in a Calc spreadsheet cell ?... When we can have them in a Writer text document. In Writer a formula can be anchored To Page, To Paragraph, To Character or As Character. But in Calc a formula can only anchored To Page or To Cell. It means they can't be anchored To Paragraph, To Character and As Character. We can admit that they can't be anchored To Paragraph because there's no paragraph in a cell but as a cell can contain text, so characters, formulas should be able to anchor To Character or As Character. Note that this anchor issue is also true for graphics. I will submit an other issue for Graphics in the future after we discuss this issue. Here comes some screenshots from what you get in Writer, Calc and what you have to do in Calc to get both text and formulas in a row. The trick is to move the formula.

Both text and formula in Calc spreasheet and Writer text documents
I submit my comments as I work on my document project, I hope these remarks will help us implement this feature. So this issue gets worse if you have to write some text, insert a formula and finish your sentence. As presented in the attached PDF document, updated from the other one with comments and new screenshots, you have to move the floating formula, add some spaces after your sentence and finish it.
