How to add separator (comma) inside a formula?
How to separate the value of SUM by comma in this case?
Haytham, format the SUM as well, like ="Total: " & TEXT(SUM(D3:D12),"#,##0_ ;-#,##0 "). If I understood your question correctly...

Thank you Mr. Baklan, this is exactly what I want :smileyvery-happy:
But I have noticed another code gives the same result.
The code is: #,##0
What's the difference between it and the code you mentioned?
Actually no difference, for me it was faster enter the formula ans copy/paste it here. In general, for whole numbers you may use something like TEXT(A1,"#,#"). Another story if you would like to make different formatting for positive and negative numbers, add text and or colors into formatting, etc - all that additional symbols matter.
In particular, you may format your cell with =SUM(D3:D12) as "Total: "#,### (enter this into the Custom format of the cell) that gives the same result.
Comma just separates your number on thousans, millions, billions, etc.

and i guess in many other places

SergeiBaklan hi can you help me i want to use VLOOKUP formula but when i add "," camma it shows no reaction and i can't add other pyrometer so how can i fix it?
Who knows, perhaps you shall use semicolon instead of comma in your locale, or something else. Better if you start new discussion here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/excel/bd-p/ExcelGeneral with your question, giving more details which exactly formula you try to use and on which data.

I am trying to write a formula where I am using a cell and a rule. Below explains what i am trying to achieve
A1 - $1,000
=A1 &IF(A1<0,"CR",""
The result i get from this is 1000CR. I cannot get it to format to $1,000CR if cell A1 is less than 0. PLEASE HELP
Heelllo , you may apply custom number format to your cell like
[$$-en-US]#,##0;-[$$-en-US]#,##0"CR";[$$-en-US]#,##0
or, if with formula, use
TEXT(A1,"[$$-en-US]#,##0") & "CR"
with IF
