Concatenate function with SUM function

[Nalani]

I have the formula below in a cell B9:
="Total This Sheet" & " " &"$" &SUM(C9:Q9)&" Equals "& ROUND(SUM(C9:Q9),2)/11&" HRS"

Test

<TABLE style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; PADDING-LEFT: 2pt; PADDING-RIGHT: 2pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt" border=1 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 30px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><COL style="WIDTH: 182px"><COL style="WIDTH: 74px"><COL style="WIDTH: 74px"><COL style="WIDTH: 74px"><COL style="WIDTH: 74px"></COLGROUP><TBODY><TR style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><TD></TD><TD>B</TD><TD>C</TD><TD>D</TD><TD>E</TD><TD>F</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 25px"><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cacaca; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">9</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00; FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Total This Sheet $73 Equals 6.63636363636364 HRS</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">25.00</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">24.00</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">14.00</TD><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff; FONT-SIZE: 8pt">10.00</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>



Is it possible to somehow format the Total hours to one or two decimal places instead of what is showing.

I have tried to format the Cell (number, text, general, etc) to no avail. I have not tried to apply a Custom Format because I'm not sure how that Custom would even go.

Or maybe it is something that I need in the ROUND(SUM() ) formula of the Concat formula.

Thanks

I think you need to change this

ROUND(SUM(C9:Q9),2)/11

to

ROUND(SUM(C9:Q9)/11,2)

Thanks for the reply jon

But that doesn't work. I get this:

I even trid putting an equal sign in front of ROUND.

Hi Nalani,

Jon's suggestion seems to work for me:

="Total This Sheet" & " " &"$" &SUM(C10:Q10)&" Equals "& ROUND(SUM(C9:Q9)/11,2)&" HRS"

gives

Total This Sheet $73 Equals 6.64 HRS

Make sure the cell is formatted as general, and re-enter the formula

Thanks jon

That did it, played around with formating and formula changes so much that I didn't go back to the "tests" of each with your correction to the formula.

Thanks again.
