Hi Mike
Did not work :) Marked the numbers, format cells, custom format and wrote the #,##0,_) but this did not make the numbers in thousand -- Just a regular user "Mike H" wrote: How about a custom format of #,##0,_) Mike "Rockbear" wrote: Hi I have a column H that has large numbers 11 515 100, 74 500 988, 79 560 533 etc Is there a way to format the numbers in 1000? 11 515 100 in thousand it will be 11 515 74 500 988 in thousand it will be 74 501 79 560 533 in thousand it will be 79 561 Just format. the numbers, no formula -- Just a regular user |

Hi,
Format a completely empty cell with the format I gave you and then enter 123456789 in that cell and it should display as 123,457. If that works and it doesn't work on your numbers then your numbers are probably text. To convert then to numbers use this formula =SUBSTITUTE(A15," ","") Copy the numbers and paste them back over themselves using paste special - values. Finally put a 1 in a cell and copy that. Select these newly created numbers and then Edit|Paste special - Multiply OK Apply the format and you should get the desired result.

You've probably entered the "numbers" as text, rather than as numbers. If
you are putting spaces in the numbers and these are not what your Windows Regional Options recognise as the thousands separator, then Excel is liable to treat them as text. If you change your Windows Regional Options to match the format you are using for your input, then Data/ Text to Columns will allow you to translate the text into numbers. Alternatively you could use a formula such as =--SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","") As far as formatting the cells, once they are recognised as numbers, Mike's format had a comma as a thousands separator, so if you want a space use # ##0,_) -- David Biddulph "Rockbear" wrote in message ...

I'd be willing to guess that at least some of them *are* text. Try
=ISTEXT(A2) and =ISNUMBER(A2) and copy down the coluimn. -- David Biddulph "Rockbear" wrote in message ...
