Text function

Converts a value to text in a specific number format.

Syntax

TEXT(value,format_text)

Value     is a numeric value, a formula that evaluates to a numeric value, or a column reference containing a numeric value.

Format_text     is a number format in text format.

Remark

Using the TEXT function converts a value to formatted text, and the result is no longer calculated as a number.
