I am in India. And the usual method when working with 'money' figures we use
comma as the separator for thousands. Example of such separation is
76,54,321. However, all that I am able to do is in this format 7,654,321.
How do I default the settings for use in Indian way?

I have searched for an answer and it appears that an "add-in" is one (the
only?) solution:

If you have Excel 2002 or later look up bhattext in help.
Otherwise the following format might help you


[=10000000]##\,##\,##\,##0.00;[=100000]##\,##\,##0.00;##,##0.00
(This format separates groups for India/Thailand, format valid for
positive numbers up to 99,99,99,999.99 or 999,999,999.99)
in Excel XP see function BhatText as in Thai Bhat currency.


=BAHTTEXT(A37) [Rupees, Rs., Paise, lakhs, crores] ==an alternative may
be to use Control Panel, Regional Settings, Numbers,
digit grouping.
