The formatting solution will change how the number appears but the large
value is stilled stored in the cell.
The actually change the value, put 1000000 in an empty cell and copy it;
select all the cells to be treated; use menu command Edit | Paste Special
and click the Divide box; click OK

Another way, assuming you want to input the data in actual, and merely view
it later with just the millions showing is to create a new sheet (further
assumtion is that your data is on sheet1, starting at cell A1)

=LEFT(Sheet1!A1,LEN(Sheet1!A1)-6

the minus 6 at the end will take 6 digits off the right of your number- so if
you want to display less, make it 7, or 8, etc... Hope that helps (my first
post here)!! Good Luck!
