The last code failed a test, try this modification:

Sub thousands()
Dim rng As Range, c As Range
Dim LRow As Long

LRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A" & LRow)

For Each c In rng
If InStr(1, c.Text, ".") = 0 Then
c.Value = c.Value / 1000
c.NumberFormat = "0.000"
End If
Next
End Sub

Hemu, try this:

Sub thousands()
Dim rng As Range, c As Range
Dim LRow As Long

LRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A" & LRow)

For Each c In rng
If InStr(1, c.Value, ".") = 0 Then
c.Value = c.Value / 1000
c.NumberFormat = "0.000"

Inserting an additional character into a string can be achieved by
splitting
the string into two and re-combine with the additional(s) required

in its simplest form.......

stOriginal = "123000"
stResult = Left(stOriginal,3) & "." & Right(stOriginal,3)

if it will be numerical then you could just divide the value by 1000 -
but
your local settings may insert something other than a decimal point!
