Default How do I custom format $11 to show $11,000,000?

You probably need an intermediate formula for these other cases. In #1,
multiply the value by 1000000 and apply #,##0 as your format. In #2,
multiply by 1000 and apply the same format or simply 0.

Two more question on the same subject:
1. How would I custom format 11.2 to show 11,200,000? When I use the same
format as before, it comes out at 11,000,000 instead of 11,200,000.

2. How would I custom format 2.5 to show 2500? I tried a format simular
to
the one for 11,000,000 0",000" but it rounded up and showed 3000 instead
of
2500.
