Using text and formatting sum function in formula
I am attempting to show text in a cell concatenated with the sum function and
it works fine. The problem is the result has 10 decimal places in the resulting number. I have tried to use the format function with the sum function without success. Here is the formula I am working with: ="Total is: " & Format(SUM(B96:B104),"0.00") What am I doing wrong? Thank you. |

Using text and formatting sum function in formula
Hi Billy,
Try using the ROUND function. ="Total is: "&ROUND(SUM(B2:B3),2) Omit the spaces around the &.
