I use the Concatenate function to write some notes to a report I print in
excel. One of the notes reads " The total number of people to enter was
1234". Where the number 1234 is referenced from another cell.

How can I get the note to display the number with a comma separating the
thousands i.e. as 1,234. The referenced cell is formatted this way.

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows this!
