putting two functions together
I am using a function called SpellNumber
=SpellNumber(J28) .... to automatically enter a dollar amount in words, and it works just fine. But I want to place two asterisks (**) before and after those words. So I tried using the CONCATENATE formula =CONCATENATE(**,=SpellNumber(J28),**) .... but it am getting an error message saying that this formula is not formatted correctly. What is wrong with my formatting? Please help. |

You are missing the double quotes and don't need the 2nd equal sign.
