Default Rounding Of Concatenated Costs Field

Hi,

I don't follow this concatenation thing but if the number in the cell is a
number then create the following custom format:

$0.0,,\M

To do this choose Format, Cells, Number tab, Custom, and enter the above on
the Type line.

If you want to use a formula approach then

=TEXT(A1,"$0.0,,""M""")

--
If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire

The second field in my concatenate function is actual costs, the first is
line of business. One value, for example, is $29,501,341.16 which I can round
down to $29,501,341 but the concatenated value is fully exploded with the
decimals. What I ideally would like to do is have the concatenated value read
$29.5M. Any ideas? Excel 2007
