Default Custom format rounding

How can I display 123,432,000 as 123,400 using custom formats? What I need is
rounding to the nearest 100,000.

Yeah, tried that but it gives me 123,432 rather than the 123,400 that I'm
after. Any other ideas?

Thanks, Ray.

Best I can come up with is by formula in adjoining column; i.e.,
=ROUND(RC[-1],-5) and applying format #,###, to that

Sorry

As far as I know, you can only use custom formats to display rounding to the
nearest 10^x where mod(x,3) = 0
