Hi,

I am having problems making a formula work for me.

Here is the formula:
=IF(U157>0,"enrollment for the years "&U156&" to "&V156&" will increase from "&TEXT(K175,"0,000")&" to "&TEXT(P175,"0,000")&", which is an increase of "&TEXT(V157,"0.0%."),"enrollment for the years "&U156&" to "&V156&" will decrease from "&TEXT(K175,"0,000")&" to "&TEXT(P175,"0,000")&", which is a decrease of "&TEXT(-V157,"0.0%."))

Here is the result of the formula:
<TABLE style="WIDTH: 516pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=687><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 30pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1462" span=12 width=40><COL style="WIDTH: 32pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1572" width=43><COL style="WIDTH: 30pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1462" span=2 width=40><COL style="WIDTH: 32pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1536" span=2 width=42><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 19.5pt; mso-height-source: userset" height=26><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 516pt; HEIGHT: 19.5pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0; mso-ignore: colspan" class=xl70 height=26 width=687 colSpan=17 align=center>enrollment for the years 2011 to 2016 will decrease from 0,778 to 0,632, which is a decrease of 18.7%.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

This formula works fine when my enrollment count is greater than 1,000. I would like the 0,778 to be 778. Is there an easy way to make this formula work for values less than and greater than 1000?
