I am trying to concatenate a number and preserve its formatting, but
the concatenate formuula insists on presenting the unformatted version
of the number.  Is there a way to enforce the format?  Formatting the
cell where the concatenate function runs doesn't work. I have tried a
bunch of searches for help on "concatenate format" and get nothing
useful...

thanks for any help

Use the TEXT function

Eg: Formatting a number as a percentage to 2 dp:
="Your score is " & TEXT(A1,"0.00%")

Try Debra's page at:

Scroll down to "Formatting Examples"
