contains both numbers and text from other cells. This is the formula that
I'm currently using with it's result.

"&'Pricing Sheet'!E52&" board feet of "&'Pricing Sheet'!B6

What's being shown:
"Procurement of 100 timbers totaling approximately 5555.55555555555556 board
feet of Southern Yellow Pine"

What's desired:

Just off the top of my head try this...


="Procurement of "&'Pricing Sheet'!B10&" timbers totaling approximately
"&Text('Pricing Sheet'!E52&,"#,#")&" board feet of "&'Pricing Sheet'!B6

If thats not right just try playing around with the Text function

So Text(Cell,"#,#") Would format a cell to what you want.

I believe you need to use

&TEXT(TRUNC('Pricing Sheet'!E52),"#,#")&etc

One more question that I should've asked....

Can I insert a ROUND(value,-1) function within the formula???
