    Formatting collected data in a cell

    Sorry about this basic question, but for some reason the search function on the website does not appear to be working.

    I have the following in cell formula

    ="The design flow rate that must be produced is "&ROUND(Overview!E15,0)&" m3/day net of UF cleaning."

    the data is being collected correctly, however I cannot collect the data in the right format, i.e. the cell looks like this:

    The design flow rate that must be produced is 235000 m3/day net of UF cleaning.

    The "235000" is the data coming from the other sheet, however I would like to use commas, i.e. "235,000"

    I do not seem to be able to do this no matter what format I change the destination cell or the data from the collected cell?

    thanks in anticipation

    THANKS FOR THE REALLY QUICK RESPONSES

    Embed within TEXT, eg:

    TEXT(ROUND(Overview!E15,0),"#,##0")

    Maybe ="your text"&text(ROUND(Overview!E15,0),#,##0)&"remainingtxt"
