Custom number format

J

Jack Schitt

I have a number that is rounded to the nearest 1000.
I want the number displayed in thousands, ie so that if the underlying
number is 123000 it should be displayed as 123.

I realise that I could divide the number by 1000 and display it normally but
I am reluctant to do that if there is a simple formatting solution.

Help?? thanks

If you go to format cells and number > custom put

_-* #,k

in and this should solve your problem. The 'k' is
optional. This will keep the true value ie 123000 if you
do any calculations on the number.
