Hi,

So, in cell B2 I have the number 13. This is a calculated field, so that actual content of the cell is a Sum formula.

All I need is for that 13 to appear as 0:13. I've tried everything I can think of but nothing comes out right. Doesn't seem like it should be this hard.

Thanks for the assistance...

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Alternately, if the 13 won't be used in numerical calculation elsewhere in your workbook is to simply concatenate "0:" onto the front of your SUM formula...

="0:"&SUM(...)

Thanks guys. Interesting solution Rick Rothstein, I'll definitely have to remember that one.

In the end, I went with Tetra201's solution because these numbers will later be used in calculations.

Thanks again!
