Thanks, the formula works great. I appreciate your help.

To concatenate, you can’t use the Format Cell – Number codes quite that way. But use this:

=A1&” “&TEXT(B1,IF(B1>=1000000,”0.0,,”"M”"”,IF(B1>=1000,”0,”"k”"”,”0″)))

I had tried to send you a question last week but my computer crashed and I was not sure if it went through.
I have a problem concatenating a name with a formatted number value for use as a label. I have formatted the number to show 3.5M for millions etc. ([>=1000000]0.0,,”M”;[>=1000]0,”K”;0 – Thanks, I learned this from your site) and when concatenated the whole number shows up – 3,500,000.
I figure there is a simple way around this I am overlooking or never learned. I finally just typed in the values as I wanted them to appear.

Thanks,
Joe

Go to the Insert menu > Symbol, scroll about 2/3 of the way down, and you’ll see the black up-pointing triangle. Click Insert, and then close the dialog.

How do you maintain the formatting of the triangle?

I think the triangle is Windings 3….but when I concatenate that with another cell, Wingdings doesn’t stick, and my triangle becomes the letter p.

Thanks for the tips….some nice ideas.
