Default Custom format whole number to decimal

In that case 123456 shows as: 123,456.00

I assume that the OP wants: 1,234.56

I can only assume it is for easy data entry and the Op is going to divide
the number by 100 when it is used. Although having to enter an extra double
zero for whole numbers would cause me more trouble than entering e decimal
point.

Good day,

I am currently using a custom format to automatically display a whole
number
as a number with decimals: ###0\.00 however, I was wondering if it was
possible to have a custom format perform the same function, but with a
comma
value as well e.g. (#,##0\.00) - this does not work.
