How do I concatenate these two fields so they show values with not so many digits. I would like to show 2 decimal digits.

Try this:

"$" & ROUND({Daily Fees $}, 2) & " / " & ROUND({Daily Fees %} * 100, 2) & "%"



Do note that there's also ROUNDUP() and ROUNDDOWN(), so pick whichever suits your needs!

Use the ROUND() function surrounding your formula like this:

ROUND(insert the text of your formula here, 2)

Close, but not close enough 😉. The % is not correct and I would also like to show $ sign as well as % sign. Is that possible?

That’s because your result is not a number… it’s text. You would have to add in those symbols yourself as part of your formula.

I have added symbols, but looks like $ sign can only go in the back which is incorrect. Not sure if there is a way to put it in the front (I have tried to fiddle around and couldn't figure it out). Also, still have the same issue with % not showing correctly with the ROUND formula

Put the $ sign at the very beginning of your formula.

Could you explain the importance of maintaining consistent decimal formatting when concatenating formula fields in a spreadsheet?
