How do I change the number format within the concantenate function
I have created a formula that uses the concantenate function that refers to a
cell that is formatted as percentage. However, the cell that contains the formula shows the referred to cell as a decimal. The referred to cell is using a list and data validation. For example, cell A1 uses a list of the following number: 1%, 2%,....99%. Since data validation is used, a drop down list is created with all of these percentages. Cell B1 has the formula '=CONCANTENATE("The rate is "$A$1)' The result shown is 'The rate is 0.85' I want it to display 'The rate is 85%' Thanks. |
try something like
="The rate is "&text($A$1,"0%") "micoope" wrote: I have created a formula that uses the concantenate function that refers to a cell that is formatted as percentage.
