Insert the numerical content of a cell in text that is part of an IF formula

Copper Contributor

Hello:

I hope you guys can help me with a formula. I am a newbie so please be kind. Here goes...

I need to insert the numerical content of several different cells into text that is the "value_if_true" part of an IF formula. This data will be merged with a Word document.  This is my formula so far...

=if(D1="Applicable", "and
restricted common shares of Company Ltd. (as traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CPY, the “Company Stock”), calculated by dividing $ by the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company Stock, payable at closing.", "")

 

Here is what I am trying to accomplish:

 

=if(D1="Applicable", "and
=(C2) restricted common shares of Company Ltd. (as traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CPY, the “Company Stock”), calculated by dividing $=(P2) by the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company Stock, payable at closing.", "")

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Liz

One more thing to add, please....
How can I make the number in $ " & P2 &" retain its Accounting format?

I already marked @Harun24HR 's reply as the answer.

To use accounting format for the value of P2:

 

=IF(D1="Applicable", "and " & C2 &" restricted common shares of Company Ltd. (as traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CPY, the “Company Stock”), calculated by dividing " & TEXT(P2, "_-$* #,##0.00_-;-$* #,##0.00_-;_-$* ""-""??_-;_-@_-") &" by the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company Stock, payable at closing.", "")
