Default Format number / 1000

Hi,
I wanderif there is a format (personalized) in Excel that would display a
number as the number divided by 1000. For example, 1 000 000 would appear as
1 000 (or 1,000,000 as 1,000).
Something like the % format that multiplies the number by 100 to display it.
Thanks

Jac,
Try this: #,##0, <<< note comma at end

(replace the first comma by a space for your first example)

#,##0,

Note the trailing comma.

Hi Andrew,
You are right. It works fine. Here is some more information for all the
community and especially for french users.
For French format (space as the thousand separator and comma for the decimal
separator), one has too add a space at the end like this "# ##0,00 " for 2
decimals and like this "# ##0 " for 0 decimals.
If one wants to keep the $ sign, "# ##0,00 $" for 2 decimals and "# ##0 "
for 0 decimals.
Note: I always wandered why "0 decimals" takes an "s" in english...
Thank you very much, Andrew. You make my day.
