Default Custom format

Is there a simple way to use a custom format to scale a number.
For example, user inputs 12,000 & 12 k appears?

I'm fairly sure that I've done this in the past, but too much beer has made
me forget!

Regards
Colin Foster

I wish I could take credit it for it, but I picked this up some time ago
from somewhere else, probably Dave McRitchie's site.
