I have the following formula:

=CONCATENATE(B28,0)

In B28 is the following text(formated as text):000143

so I want the result to be: 0001430

I have used the fx button to make sure syntax is correct and cell is formated as text, but we only see the formula, not the result.

What can we do?
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
the reason you see the formula and not the result of the formula is because you have the cell formatted as text. change the format to general
