TEXT (convert number into text string)

Syntax:

TEXT(Number, Format)

Description:

Converts a number to a text string in the specified number format.

Format is a text string specifying the desired format. Enter a corresponding text string here. It has to be built like a format string for user-defined number formats that you specify in the dialog box of the ribbon tab Home | group Numbergroup_arrow (see Structure of a custom number format).

Annotation:

To change the format of numbers without having to convert them to a text string, choose the commands of the ribbon tab Home | group Number and select the desired number format.

Example:

TEXT("9/25/2018", "MM/DD/YY") returns 09/25/18 (as a text string)

TEXT(2.715, "0.00 ""USD""") returns 2.72 USD (as a text string)
