Default Number format using TEXT( ) function

I know what you mean - I've tried before to figure this out w/o luck. Just
doesn't seem right that there is not a way to make the decimal optional.

The only other thing I can think of would be a UDF. Perhaps someone else
knows how to turn this trick.

Thanks, J!

The TEXT() function is part of a VLOOKUP formula. I could work that DOLLAR()
in but I'd prefer to use TEXT() and just come up with the correct format
style if there is one!

Maybe

=DOLLAR(A4,(MOD(A4,1)<0)*2)

Hi Folks!

Using the TEXT() function, what format do I need to get:

$10
$10.50
$110.99
$1,110.99

Integers should remain integers but it should also handle decimals.

I tried $#,### which works fine on intergers but not on the decimals.
Then I
tried $#,###.## which works fine on the decimals but not the integers.

Thanks
