    How to add displayed cell value (including format)

    I have one cell that says: Total"
    I have another cell that is formatted to say $673,000.00 (comma separators, with a $ in front -- a custom format).
    Now, for whatever odd reason, I want that all to be part of a single cell.

    ="Total: "&E5
    gives me:
    Total: 673000

    How do I use the displayed result of a cell instead of the actual result?

    The only way is to put formatting into your formula as well.

    ="Total: $" & TEXT(E5, "000,000.00")
