Default Converting #s to specified #digits

not sure if there is a way to actually format the cells to show this but you
could do the following.

insert a column and in the column put the following formula. =A1/1000000
then format...cells....number, 1 decimal. Then copy the formula down and you
should get the results you want. (The formula assumes your data starts in
cell A1.)

Hi! Any help is appreciated.

I have two columns of data that represent dollar amounts. The amounts vary
across the board. Is there a formula that I could put in that would take the
numbers and change them all to be represented in a single dollar amount?

For example, if I want to represent everything in millions (Mk),
7,240,000 would be displayed as 7.2; 125,000 would be displayed as .1

I would also like to make sure it is rounding the tenths places, so that if
the first example had been 7,280,000, it would display as 7.3

If there's not a formula that can do this, could you also let me know.
Thanks!
