A

I was given a spreadsheet in millions and I want to convert all the numbers
to thousands. (ie $1,538,498 to $1,538) How do I go about doing that.

Version = Microsoft Excel 2003, SP2

Thanks,

Put 1000 in an empty cell and COPY.

Highlight data to be changed, EDIT=>Paste Special==>Operation==>Divide.

Format cells as required.

Delete cell with 1000 in it.

=A1/1000

(where A1 is your number), copy down the formula and then delete the
original row.
