Thank you Ashish,
You nailed what I asked for in my original post, unfortulately, as Gord
pointed out to me, I messed up my request.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,

I could not understand that - could you kindly explain again with an
example. My formula should give you the answer as NPL_48+29

Thanks. This is so close but it places the + where the . usesd to be
instead
of two places in front of it. I am working on stationing where 100' would
be
1+00.00.
Is there a way to move the + over?

I want to join the values of two cells with different formatting.
Example:
"E3" = NPL and "O3" is a number 48.29548562458 formatted to appear
48+29.
I want to come up with "NPL_48+29" but can't seem to concatenate the
cells
without losing the format. All I can get is:
"NPL_48.29548562458"
How do I get the format "##0+#0.00" to carry over?
Thanks.
