Default Format numbers to millions

No good. This assumes the amount is actually a million.

Format Custom as

#,##0,,",000,000"

(no provisions for negative amounts yet)

But are you sure you need this? I don't like the idea of displaying
something that is not the actual amount in the cell. What is your
requirement, if I may ask?

Hi there,

I saw an article in this web about formatting a number to million using
the following format:
#,##0,, ;[Red](#,##0,,);- ;

So, if I have 1,777,777 I will get 2. However, what if I want to
display 2,000,000 instead of only 2? How can I do that? Thank you.
