text and number combined in a cell

[Guest]

If in cell A1 I have "The total as of March 1st was"
And in cell D1 I have a numerical formaula that shows March's total, say
$1,438.14877.

If I do a formula in cell A1 and say = & D1
I get the result of .... The Total as of March 1st was 1438.14877

How can I get this to show ..... The Total as of March 1st was $1,438
In other words format the number so it has $ and coma and no decimal places?

Thanks!

="The total as of March 1st was " & TEXT(D1,"$0")

=a1 & " " & Dollar(d1,0)

or if you are putting this in A1, ="The total as of March 1st was " &
Dollar(d1,0)

You don't want to use text because the comas won't show.

Hi TimN,

Try this

=A1&" $"&LEFT(LEFT(D1,5)*1,1)*1&","&RIGHT(LEFT(D1,5)*1,3)*1

Or maybe better:

="The total as of March 1st was " & TEXT(D1,"£#,##0")
