Hi Jamal - it should still be more or less the same.

Just get to the Format Cells command / Number tab / then Number on the left
hand side.

I don't think it changed much between the 2 version.

Please hit Yes if my comments have helped.

Hi you are right that the thousand seperator is there. However, the probelm
is if you have use the thousand seperator in the number format then a seven
digit number such as 1000000 is shown as 1,000,000. What I am looking for is
to just show 1,000 (in thousands, I could get it by 1,000,000/1000 = 1,000).
But wanted to find out if there is a custom format that will do the trick. If
you use the custom format of #,; then it shows 1000 and loses the comma. I
can't figure out how to show long numbers in thousands or even millions and
still have the comma. Thanks for your help.

If I understood - you want to display "Millions" as "Thousand".
If so - Custom Format those cells as: #,##0,
