Concatenate numbers and text while holding a custom number format.
I want to join the values of two cells with different formatting. Example:
"E3" = NPL and "O3" is a number 48.29548562458 formatted to appear 48+29. I want to come up with "NPL_48+29" but can't seem to concatenate the cells without losing the format. All I can get is: "NPL_48.29548562458" How do I get the format "##0+#0.00" to carry over? Thanks. |

=E3 &"_" & TEXT(O3,"your format")
##0+#0.00 does not return 48+29 for me but maybe you have a typo?

Thanks. This is so close but it places the + where the . usesd to be instead
of two places in front of it. I am working on stationing where 100' would be 1+00.00. Is there a way to move the + over?

I could not understand that - could you kindly explain again with an example.

Thanks for your patience.
Your formula is correct. What I need for this station is NPL_0+48.29. If the station was 236.98 then I need it to appear as NPL_2+36.98. In these examples the "+" relates to 100 (1+00) as a "," relates to 1000 (1,000). Thank you again.
