    How to format numbers as lakhs and crores

    Hi,

    I want to format numbers in the Indian formatting system with commas showing up for lakhs(1,00,000) and crores (1,00,00,000).

    make one format work for both positive and negative?

    Thanks..
    My English is very poor, so please be patient >_<"

    Thanks & Regards.

    Please try conditional formatting column A

    =A1>=10^5 custom format ##\,##\,###

    =A1>=10^7 custom format ##\,##\,##\,###

    How about

    =abs(A1)>=10^5

    =abs(A1)>=10^7

    Re: How to format numbers as lakhs and crores

    Select D3:J80 Press Alt H L R or Ribbon> Home > Conditional formatting > Manage rule > New rule

    Use a formula

    =abs(D3)>=10^5 format > Number > custom ##\,##\,###

    =abs(D3)>=10^7 format > Number > custom ##\,##\,##\,###
