format a number appearing in a text formula
Col A B C D
OI 1,150 1,000 OI = 2150 DC 3,900 4,500 DC = 8400 I have the following info in the first 3 columns then in the column D I have the formula =A2&" = "&(b2+c2) which gives me the item being displayed as above. I am using it for text boxes in a chart so I need to show the item in D to read: OI = 2,150 DC = 8,400 Is there a way I can apply formats to a formula or would I have to go: use concantenate & truncate to put the commas in the correct places? |
