Default Grouping patterns of numbers in cell

Bob,

Today I discovered something. I was at the Control Panel, looking at regional and language options. I clicked on "customize" and clicked on the down arrow beside digit grouping. The last option from the list is interesting. It is related to this thread. I wonder which regions use this format. If I choose (of course I won't) the last option, all MS Office software and not just Excel will be affected, right?

If the poster's region uses this format all the time, do you see a problem if he/she changes the digit grouping to the last option? This is provided the option is there for him/her to choose from.

Just curious. I am always happy and want to tell when I have discovered something. But, of course I don't expect the same level of joy from others who have known all along ...... ;)

Epinn,

Interesting it is.

Unlike you, I threw caution to the wind and selected it. It didn't seem to
do anything, when I selected the comma style or currency style from the
formatting toolbar, I still got 123,456,789 format. I wonder if you also
need some language pack or something.

I think I will do some more investigations.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question. Do we have to reboot after clicking "apply?"

I found out two regions use this format - India and Thailand. I read BAHTTEXT( ) via Excel Help. Interesting indeed.

What is the equivalent function for US$?
