Okay, we're on the right track. Can this work if A1 is at the beginning
of
the formula, as in (A1) is how much it will cost.

=IF(COUNT(A1),TEXT(A1,"$0.00"),"--")&" is how much it will cost"


Also, can I use this if I have multiple references to other cells like:
It will cost no less than A1 and no more than A2?

="It will cost no less than "&IF(COUNT(A1),TEXT(A1,"$0.00"),"--")&" and no
more than "&IF(COUNT(A2),TEXT(A2,"$0.00"),"--")


And finally, can I use an addition of two cells like the A1+B1 is the
grand
total.

=IF(COUNT(A1:A2),TEXT(A1+A2,"$0.00"),"--")&" is the Grand Total"



Thanks for your help this is terrific!

I want to format the number from a cell as currency.

Example of my formula: =CONCATENATE("This is how much it costs:",A1)
The cell A1 is fomatted as currency but returns a general number. I
need
it
to be currency in the Concatenated cell.
