Thumbs up Answer: Format millions in thousands with comma

To format the number 20307710.83 as $20,308, you can use the following custom number format:

Formula:
$##,#0.0, 
Here are the steps to apply this format:
  1. Select the cell(s) containing the number you want to format.
  2. Right-click and select "Format Cells" from the context menu.
  3. In the Format Cells dialog box, select "Custom" from the Category list.
  4. In the Type field, enter the custom number format:
    Formula:
    $##,#0.0, 
  5. Click "OK" to apply the format to the selected cell(s).

This format will display the number with a dollar sign, a comma separator for thousands, and one decimal place. The trailing comma will ensure that the number is always displayed with three digits for the thousands place, even if the number is less than 10,000.
