Default CONCATENATE

Based on your post, I'm assuming you went with the text formula approach.
=MID(A1*0.001,2,255)

If that's true, then changing displayed decimal places will have no impact
on the "word" 919216.111

Try this:
=MID(A1*0.001,2,255)&"00"

Alternatively, changing displayed decimals will work on any of the numeric
methods.

Does that help?

Thanks Ron! I am trying to convert a fund, department, FERC and budget
number into an account number format. Your formula worked! I just need to
add zero's to the end of two formatted account number. I tried to add the
zero by using the adding decimal button, but it does not work. Any
suggestions??? Thanks again, for your help.

Not sure what exactly you're trying to do, so here are some guesses:

Starting with 1919216111 in A1

A text conversion might look like this:
=MID(A1*0.001,2,255)

A numeric conversion:
=--MID(A12*0.001,2,255)
or anothe way:
=MOD(A12,10^INT(LOG(A12)))*0.001

Does that give you something to work with?
