Hi All:

I have a weekly file that spits out numbers stored as text. It breaks out the hundreds and thousands amounts in different cells.

In thousands cell:205 In hundreds cell:87 = 205,087

I currently use a concatenate formula to combine these two numbers and have to manually add an apostrophe and a zero before the 87. I've tried formatting the cell to a custom display of "000" that shows 3 digits, but the concatenate formula still only picks up the 87. Any thoughts on how I might go about this?

To add another variable, sometimes the hundred cell has all three numbers, aka 287, or might only have one number, aka 007.

Thanks!

Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
maybe: =BASE(A1,10,3)&","&BASE(B1,10,3) ==>> 205,087
