Default Formula text and decimal place

Hi,

Trevor Shuttleworth kindly wrote this formula for me:


A1=300
A2=g


300 This weight 300 is in g
300.1 This weight 300.1 is in g
300.12 This weight 300.12 is in g
300.123 This weight 300.123 is in g
300.1234 This weight 300.1234 is in g


Using:


="This weight
"&INT(A1)&IF(ISERROR(FIND(".",A1)),"","."&MID(A1,F IND(".",A1)+1,LEN(A1)-FIN**D(".",A1)))&"

is in "&A2


But, I have 2 areas I would like to refine it.


1 If I use a negative number in A1, I get 1 added to the number like
this: -0.5 becomes -1.5 and I dont want that


2 I need this to work when using zeroes as trailing numbers, not
always fractional decimal places: 300.00 instead of 300.12 currently it

sees 300.00 as just 300.


Can anyone help with this?


Thanks in advance,


Aaron.
