    Adding a comma to numbers

    Hi all, I have this code I'm using on the main sheet which links to another sheet, but I can't seem to get the numbers to add a comma if it's more than 1,000 etc. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    You need to format the cells that the formula is in. Cell formatting is on the Home ribbon.

    Thank you, I did already try that without any luck, also tried a custom 'format cell' without any joy, but thank you for replying.

    Try changing the formula to this:

    =VALUE(INDEX(Lives!B2:B110,MATCH(MAX(Lives!C2:C110),Lives!C2:C110,FALSE),)&"Top live show"&MAX(Lives!C2:C110))

    If this doesn't work with your number formatting, then attach a sample workbook - you must be doing something wrong. Instructions at the top of the page.

    Re: Adding a comma to numbers

    Seems to me that it is the same solution as the other thread -- use the TEXT() function to add number formatting to a number that you are joining into a larger text string.

    =TEXT(date formula) & TEXT(number,"#,##0")

    If you are unfamiliar with the number format codes that go into the second argument of the TEXT() function: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...rs=en-us&ad=us
