I assume youre using something like ="Total $"&SUM(A1:A5) - This returns
text, not a number, try Custom Formatting as
"Total $"000,000
This will return a number,

I'm trying to put a word "Total" before a summation of cells. This is
working but I get a solid number back. I'd like to have the number show a
comma separator.

I get Total $187242

I'd like to get

Total $187,242

Any ideas?
