Default Format Concatenated Cell

I concatenated a text cell with a number cell to get a result of "Joe Smith:
23.4".

I would like to format the number to two decimal places so that I get "Joe
Smith: 23.42." How do I do that? Thanks!

Steve,

You do this while you are concatenating not after. Hence if Joe Smith: is in
A1 and 23.4 is in B1 then you use the formula

=A1 & TEXT(B1,"0.00")
