    how to combine text & figure when the figure is in -ve?

    Hi,

    I learnt that " " & can combine the text and figure. However, when it comes to a negative numbers, i dont know how to maneouver it. Could someone please enlighten me?

    Eg, Cell A1 is USD(50,000.00) and
    the comment in Cell B1 is Cost is USD(50,000.00).
    So the function in B1 = "Cost is "& what to put here?

    Thanks
