no comma separator for ="total"&"$ "&sum(a1:a10)
 

I'm trying to put a word "Total" before a summation of cells. This is
working but I get a solid number back. I'd like to have the number show a
comma separator.

I get Total $187242

I'd like to get

Total $187,242

Any ideas?

no comma separator for ="total"&"$ "&sum(a1:a10)
 

="Total "&TEXT(SUM(A1:A10),"$0,0")

I assume youre using something like ="Total $"&SUM(A1:A5) - This returns
text, not a number, try Custom Formatting as
"Total $"000,000
This will return a number,

Custom format the cell to:

"Total " $#,##0
