text and formula in the same cell - how do I format this cell??
Good afternoon. First, add the round function to your formula:
="Cost $" & Round(B21*8,2). That will get you your 2 decimal places.
Second, it doesn't matter that B21 is formatted as currency. The cell with
your formula is text. I'm afraid you'll have to continue adding the $ within
the quotes. HTH--

I've figured out how to put a formula and text in the same cell, thanks
to this group. However, I can't figure out how to format the value of
the cell. For example, I want to create one cell with the following:
Cost $XXX.
The following is what I put in the cell:
="Cost $" & B21*8.
This is the result I get:
Cost $35.32365
I want the value to round to 2 decimal points, but I can't figure out
how to do that. The cell B21 is already in currency form, but the new
value does not show up with a dollar sign. So, I guess I have 2
questions:
1. How do I get this dollar sign to show up automatically (being that
the value is based upon another dollar value?)
2. How do I round the value to 2 decimal places?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
