How to add un-editable piped text?

Question

I have a survey where respondents enter costs for this year and we want to display the previous year's values for comparison in the same question. Currently, I've piped that value into the question. However, this allows the respondents to edit that number, which we do not want. How can I display this information in a format that makes sense without making this data editable?

@poppy Ahh so you are piping in to a text box. Do you not want to let respondents edit the textbox at all Or just not be able to edit this portion? If that's the case, you may want to consider doing this another way. Unfortunately text added to a text box will always be editable if the text box is still editable. Though the text box can be made not editable with a bit of JavaScript.

I'm assuming you have those values piped in from embedded data?
