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 Smiley Very 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.

If i want to use decimal places in the number, Formula?

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

@suresh_k8309 

As variant you may apply desired accounting format to the cell, Ctrl+1, select Custom and add your text in front of each formatting block

Alternatively wrap ROUND with TEXT function applying accounting format string for your locale.

=LARGE(N6:N15,1)&" on first "&LARGE(N6:N15,2)&" on second "&LARGE(N6:N15,3)&" on third "
