As long as you DON'T try to do any calculations with cell B5 (for the reason explained by Paul) you would use the following formula in cell B5:
=IF(B1="USD K",CONCATENATE("USD ",TEXT(B11,"#,###")),CONCATENATE("INR ",TEXT(B10,"#.#"))) If you do need to do calculations with the value in cell B5 I would suggestion using a different cell to do the calculation with. You could e.g. use cell C5 and place your own formula in it: =If(B1="INR Crs",B10,B11) In case it troubles you (or the users of your workbook) to see cell C5 you could turn it invisible e.g. by choosing white as the font color...
