 Hi,

 

 Well can use directly a formula field to show that field value in Text format. If you want this field should be editable then create a field of text type and use workflow to update that field.

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

Create a formula field of text type and its value will be the number field. Note that this field (formula) will be read-only.
