In a LibreOffice spreadsheet, I want to display numbers (actually, prices) with two decimals. When a cell contains just a number, I can format it to do automatic padding.

But sometimes I have cases where I concatenate strings, like this:

Image says it all, I guess. Is there a function or expression to pad a string or number, rather than doing this through a cell's formatting properties?

    Excel has a TEXT function which does exactly what you need. I don't know libreoffice, but suppose it has something similar too.

    @MátéJuhász thanks, I got it working with FIXED but I noticed TEXT is even more versatile.
