Default Abbreviate [Number] Billions to [#] Bn

I have a sheet that has very large numbers. What I need to do is condense
these numbers from their full format to something smaller

Example: 2,500,000,000 to 2.5B

I tried editing the number "custom" to:

#,," B"

with a decimal after the #, but the decimal just gets put to the end.
