Hello

This should be pretty simple

Data insertedCommon DataFormula
4.00whatever=A2&B2

I wanted the results in C2 to be : "4.00 whatever" but result will be "4 whatever".

The data inserted in A2 is with the ".00", it's not the excel cell format.
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Maybe:
Excel Formula:
=TEXT(A2,"0.00")&" " &B2

Is the cell formatted as text? as when i type 4.00 in a cell Excel makes it 4 unless i set the cell format.
