Default Concatinate Formatting

How do Concatinte: Cell A1: Better Cell A2: 1,545 and Cell A3: Test -
to display as "Better1,545Test"? Everytime i try this it loses the comma and
shows as "Better1545Test."

That is because cell A2 has the value 1545 and is formatted to display as
1,545. There is no comma in the cell value
Try =A1&TEXT(B1,"#,#")&C1 to have Better1,545Test
If you want spaces =A1&TEXT(B1," #,# ")&C1 to have Better 1,545 Test

=a1&text(a2,"#,##0")&a3

Same kind of things for dates, currency--anything that needs to be formatted.

Correction:

1,545. There is no comma in the cell value
Try =A1&TEXT(A2,"#,#")&A3 to have Better1,545Test
If you want spaces =A1&TEXT(A2," #,# ")&A3 to have Better 1,545 Test

=CONCATENATE(A1,TEXT(A2,"#,###"),A3)

or =A1&text(a2,"#,###")&a3
