Custom Number formatting
Hi guys,
I have a bunch of big numbers 1'000'000, 900'000 etc... and would like to format them in order to cut last 3 zeros (for chart visualisation purposes). I suppose that the adequate formatting could be something like #.##/1000, but this one is not working.. Could you pls help me on this? Thanx, |
Try (US format, adjust to suit):

Thanks a lot for your suggestion!
The format you suggested replaced "1'000'000" by "1000,000," (which was probably due to my comp's settings), but then I've found (by trial and error, inspired by your input) the one that is fuctionning perfectly (giving simply "1000"). In my case it was #' Cheers, Gizmo "JE McGimpsey" wrote in message ...

Hi,
Just for the record; here are two good sources: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel....htm#getformat http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=k...d=1743&sid=340 And examples how to use it: # # : 1 000 000 (#blank#) # # ' : 1 000' (#blank#blank') # '' : 1'' (#blankblank'') that is two ' + #.### ' : 1.000' Ola |
