use formatting from source cell in CONCATENATE function
I have created a "specil" format for the display of numbers that shows
leading zeros of a value. I then want to use the CONCATENATE function to join multiple cells with this characteristic. Unfortunately the CONCATENATE function ignores the leading zero rule I have imposed on the display of the source cell and returns the result with out the leading zeros if A1= "012345" (as a number with my formatting showing the leading 0) and B1="abc" C1 is the formula "=CONCATENATE(A1,B1)" the result yields C1="12345abc" For my purposes I would find it valuable that the formatting was preserved by CONCATENATE. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
