Number Formating


Posted by Agraham on November 02, 2001 6:47 AM

I have a very large, 2D list of numbers that I am graphing(in format of $XX,XXX,XXX). Is it possible to create a number format that would list in millions (i.e., $XXM) without creating a new 2D of the numbers that I manually divide each number by 1M?

Use Format>Numbers>Custom

Enter ##,, "M" in the type field
This will display 45378944 as 45 M and 4589734 as 46 M

$##.0,,

good luck
