Greetings again!
Is there a way to get TEXTJOIN to keep the trailing zeros when having it pull numbers? I have the reference cells set up to carry out to three decimal places. When I use TEXTJOIN to combine data (text and numbers) it's removing the trailing zeros that I need on my numbers. I'm having memory issues because I remember being able to do this before I even knew the TEXTJOIN command existed....

Addendum: I remembered using & and got it to work, but it still won't keep the trailing zeros...

Regards,

Nanaia, Good afternoon.

Suppose your cell is C5 and is 1.400

Try to use:

=TEXTJOIN(",', TRUE, "NOW ", TEXT(C5,"0.000"), " IS OK!")

Is that what you want?
I hope it helps.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not sure it'll work with what I've got. This is what I have in the cell (sheets referenced are named CSV and REF):

=REF!$A$2 & CSV!K2 & REF!$A$3 & REF!C2 & REF!$A$4 & REF!$A$5 & REF!$A$6 & REF!U2 & REF!$A$7 & REF!V2 & REF!$A$8

Columns U and V are supposed to be carried out three decimal places, but Excel is dropping the trailing zeros.

Is this clear as mud now? :eeek:

Thanks again for your help.

My suggestion was based on what you said in your message that you were using the TEXTJOIN function.
But as I see in your new message you are only using the & connector.

Try to use:

=REF!$A$2 & CSV!K2 & REF!$A$3 & REF!C2 & REF!$A$4 & REF!$A$5 & REF!$A$6 & TEXT(REF!U2,"0.000") & REF!$A$7 & TEXT(REF!V2,"0.000") & REF!$A$8

Please, tell us if it worked as you want.
I hope it helps.

:biggrin: You're fabulous! Yes that worked! Sorry about the confusion from me shifting gears on which formula style I was using. I'd changed to & and only wanted to switch back if I had to.
Thank you again!

Maybe something like this with TEXTJOIN.
This is an array formula and must be entered with

3KL23.000PL45.670GH
CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.
