Custom Formatting

Hi, is there a way to custom format a cell, to read millions (all numbers) to
same as divided by 1 million, with 1 decimal after the period? thanks...

i.e.: 25,052,000 will read 25.1

You could try making a source cell with the original number and enter a
formula to divide by 1,000,000. And then go to format>cells>number
>decimal places 1.

Hi,

Go to Format cells, Custom format and enter

#,,.0

Regards

Govind.

Govind,

Do the commas represent the number of digits before the decimal point? So
if the number was 100,000,000 would it still display properly or would you
change the format to

#,,,.0

Thanks,
Susu

tried it thanks, think comma's represent triple zero places / 1000x, looks
like:
if you didn't catch it:

#,,.0 (# comma comma period zero)

Hi,

Each comma represents a 000.
