Use the TEXT function to combine and format text

In a daily sales record, employee names are listed in column A and their daily sales are entered in column B. There are two tasks here: We need to determine the percentage of the weekly sales goal ($1,000) that was met by the daily sales, and we want to combine the information from columns A and B.

To combine and format text:

1. In a worksheet, copy the data shown in Figure 3-30.
2. Select cells C2:C10 and type the formula =B2/1000.
3. Press <-Ctrl+Enter->.
4. Select cells D2:D10 and type the following formula: =A2 & " sold " & TEXT(B2,"$0.00") & "today. That's " & TEXT(C2,"0.0%") & " of weekly goal.
5. Press <-Ctrl+Enter->.
