the =Text() function diplays numbers in different formats. replace your Round() function with:
text(round(sum(a2:a4),0),"#,###") =CONCATENATE("FY09-Q4",CHAR(10)," (",TEXT(ROUND(SUM(A2:A4),0),"#,###"),")") curiously enough, you SHOULD be able to use: ="FY09-Q4" & CHAR(10) & " (" & TEXT(ROUND(SUM(A2:A4),0),"#,###") & ")" but for some reason, it doesn't "evaluate" the char(10) properly... interesting...
