Default formula help

Got another one for ya...
D22: 1,305,393
I need E4: 1,305. (need that decimal and the comma)

I am rounding to the nearest thousand, and then abbreviating it.
Like my other question, D22 will vary from day to day and will not always
have the same number of characters. Tomorrow it could be D22: 787,409 and I
would need 787.

Current Cell is C31: 1.3794eq
Desired result: C150: 1.3794

The problem is that C31 will vary from day to day. It will always be
numbers followed by text (either "eq", "up", or "down"). The number will not
always show the same number of places. Tomorrow it may be C31: 1.48down
I need a formula that will not have to be changed on a daily basis.
Please help!!
