    Formatting a number inside a formula

    Sorry all but the title probably doesnt really explain the question properly

    What id like to do to limit the amount of decimals in my answer

    below is my formula.

    ="Overall Comex FPN's running at "&E29&" average based on above figures"

    E29 = 2.8447477557
    but shows as 2.84% in the cell

    and this is what is comes out as

    ="Overall Comex FPN's running at 2.8447477557 average based on above figures"

    id like it to just say

    ="Overall Comex FPN's running at 2.84% average based on above figures"

    any help would be greatly appriciated.

    Perhaps
    ="Overall Comex FPN's running at "&round(E29,2)&"% average based on above figures"
