Say I have two values in two different cells: A1) -2.568 and B1) 7.134
in another cell, I want to combine the two but have it look this way:
-$2.6 / $7.1
I got close using the concantenate formula but it on the negative values, it returns the '-' sign before the '$' sign ($-2.6, rather than -$2.6)

Here's the formula I used:
="$"&(ROUND(A1,1))&" / $"&(ROUND(B2,1))

which returns: $-2.6 / $7.1

Is there a way to have the '-' sign come BEFORE the '$' sign?

any help would be appreciated!

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Try this:
=IF(A1<0,"-","")&"$"&(ROUND(ABS(A1),1))&" / "&IF(B2<0,"-","")&"$"&(ROUND(ABS(B2),1))

How about this:

=TEXT(ROUND(A1,1), "$#.##")&"/"&TEXT(ROUND(B1,1), "$#.##")

=IF(A1<0,"- $"&(ROUND(ABS(A1),1)),"$"&(ROUND(A1,1)))&" / " &IF(B1<0,"- $"&(ROUND(ABS(B1),1)),"$"&(ROUND(B1,1)))
