I wanted to add a cell (formula) within a text string. I found the
syntax but when I did it, the cells would leave values with decimal
points. My original cells were formatted with no decimals (whole
numbers only) but inside the text string I get decimals and in some
cases 6 or more. How can I get rid of the decimals?


Hopefully this made sense. Thanks in advance for your help.- Hide quoted

The string that i used is ="If you pay $Sheet3!$J$5&" over 15 years,
you will have paid a total of $"&Sheet3!L18&"." * *The first cell
gives me 2 decimals and the second gives me 9. *I would prefer whole
numbers instead. *I appreciate the help and will also seek the help of
the other group you mentioned.

Thanks again for your help.- Hide quoted text -

Thanks. Int seemed to have gotten rid of the decimals. The number
however does not have any commas nor a $. The original cell is
formatted for currency and no decimals. I was able to overcome the $
issue by just adding it as text which works but commas would be very
helpful.

Thanks.
