Is there anyway to create a custom format that will display millions with a
letter character proxy for the zeros (e.g. rather than 1,000,000, display
1MM; instead of 3,500,000, 3.5MM). What I want is something in effect
similar to scientific notation, but this would actually be a form of
financial notation. I know that using brackets I can use conditional
formatting to change the font color, for instance. Can anyone hook me up
with the format code to accomplish this?
