    CONCAT formula for number format

    Hello,

    Where do I place CONCAT formula to use commas to separate the thousand and million figure involved in F8 and F9? I.E., instead of 24000= 24,000? Or can I use k or m to abbreviate numbers?

    Formula below:


    =CONCAT("Users: ", F8, " vs ", F9, " (+", TEXT(F10,"0.0%"), " YOY)")

    For to use commas I have: TEXT(F9,"#,##0") but where in the formula do I place it?

    Also for the color of F10, can I automatically make it so it changes to green or red depending on increase or decrease?

    1) in the original formula where F9 is seen, replace that with TEXT(F9,"#,##0")

    2) If you're asking if you can change part of the cell's color so the F10 part only changes color, no, you can't partially color cells with formulas in them.

    Hi, thank you. When I tried that, Excel wouldn't take it and messages kept popping up saying There's a problem with this formula.

    Often Excel jumps the cursor in the formula to the spot it is guessing the error to exist. You can show us your version of the new formula and we can possibly suggest a tweak.

    Hi, this is what I wrote:

    =CONCAT("Users: ", F8, " vs ", TEXT(F9,"#,##0") " (+", TEXT(F10,"0.0%"), " YOY)")
