Format Reporting Numbers to Thousands
 

I am trying to format numbers to show in thousands for reporting... for
example:

$19,899 Nineteen thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine dollars should
display as
$19.9

I would rather not enter into the formulas... hopefully there is a custom
format to use.

Thanks,
Adam

Try this one. Zeros will be the dash "-" and negative numbers will be in
parentheses.

_( #,##0,_);_( (#,##0,);_(* "-"_);_(@_)

Adam,

In the format cells box go to custom and enter $#.0,

That 'll do it for you
