Hi -

I am losing zeros after the decimal point when I convert currency and percentage numbers to text.

Ex.

Cell TAM!$AA$37 is $25.00 (number formatted as currency, two decimal places)

Formula to convert to text that has necessary formatting:

=TEXT(TAM!$AA$37,"$##.##")

Result: $25.

Any ideas on how I can keep my placeholder zeros when converting from number to text?

Thanks

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.

Hello lenze,

Is there any reason you've gone for:

Code: 
=Text(A1,"$##.00")

As opposed to:

Code: 
=Text(A1,"$#.00")

Just wondering for future reference...

Thanks,

Matty

No reason, other than following nif's original format. Either way works.
