I use Excel 2000. Is there anyway to format numbers in 1000's? Right now I
divide each cell by 1000 to get the results I want
(=5,000,000.00/1000=5,000) and format to zero decimals.
Thanks

You could create a Custom Format : #,##0,_);(#,##0,)
Format>Cells>Number tab
Under Category, select Custom
and enter:
#,##0,_);(#,##0,)
in the type box.
NOTE: doing that won't change the actual value of the number, so 5,000,000
will still be 5 million, but it'll look like this: 5,000
Does that help?

Ron

You can just add a comma to each of the arguments in any of the number
formats, and it will reduce the visual value by a factor of 1,000. Two
commas will reduce by 1,000,000 and so on.
