I have a spreadsheet (named Source) that has values, and would like it to display like this in the final spreadsheet: (XXX, XXX). I can't figure out how to get the final spreadsheet to preserve the decimal settings that have been set in the Source spreadsheet.

Using this formula in the final spreadsheet:
=" ("&Source!H5&", "&Source!I5&")"
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Try like this

=" ("&TEXT(Source!H5,"0.00")&", "&TEXT(Source!I5,"0.00")&")"
