Another thing:

1,838,928,000 will be displayed as $1,839 Billion, which is technically
incorrect. That would either be 1.8 billion or 1,839 million (sorry about
the nerdy anal-ness).

Thought I'd let you know. If it is for something official, you might want
to change that or it might look like your numbers are off by 3 decimal
places.

If it is just for yourself, just keep that in mind.

[=1000000000] $#.0,, "Billion";[=1000000]$#.0,, "Mil"; $#, "k"

will get you "$1.8 Billion"

[=1000000000] $#,###,, "Million";[=1000000]$#.0,, "Mil"; $#, "k"

will get you "$1,839 Million"

woops,

I mean

[=1000000000] $#,###,, "Billion";[=1000000]$#.0,, "Mil"; $#, "k"

But 1,965,532 will round up to 2.0 mil because 60,000 is rounding up
causing 900,000 to round up to the next mil

1,945,532 should round to 1.9 mil.

coastal,

How about this?

[=1000000000] $#,###,, "Billion";[=1000000]$#.#,, "Mil"; $#, "k"

HTH,

Ok. Thanks to the discussion group I was given the following custom
formatting setting so that I could round numbers.

[=1000000000] $#,###,, "Billion";[=1000000]$#,, "Mil"; $#, "k"

The above will formatt this $1,965,532 into this $2 Mil
But will also formatt this $1,838,928 into this $2 Mil

I need to adjust the custom number formatting so that I get the
following
instead
$1.9 Mil
$1.8 Mil

Any suggestions?
