    Formatting in 1000's

    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

    RE: Formatting in 1000's

    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?

    Regards,
    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.
