I have used this formula =VALUE(A2)&"("&(B2)&"%" &")" to combine two cells to look like this: 20 (8%).

I would now like to format the number to use 1,000 separator when appropriate so that, for example, another cell would look like this:
2,000 (18%).

I've tried various functions but nothing is working. Is this even possible? Anyone have a solution?

Thanks!
