The format that you provided is really good but I have one other issue. What I have been doing is taking a very large number (in the millions) and I have reducing by millions and then rounding. Here is an example:
English accounting: 1) $4,333,222 -> =round((4,333,222/1,000,000),2) 2) To give me = $4.33 in Million. French Accounting: When I convert the French accounting using the provided format code; this is what I get: 1) 4 333 222 -> =round((4333222/1000000),2) 2) It gives me = 4,00 in Million. Which is inconsistent with the English but the English is correct in terms of how I need to illustrate the numbers. I should have said that I was rounding down to small numbers but I didn't think at the time it was necessary. Just to be clear: It would be IDEAL if the results for the French could be equal to and formatted like: 4,33 Million. You guys have been very helpful - much appreciated!

I have a quick question regarding formats. I have to convert english accounting procedures into French accounting procedures. In English one thousand dollars is equal to $1,000.00. In French one thousand dollars is equal to 1 000,00. the difference is that the comma before a thousand is replaced with a space AND our decimal is replaced with a comma and NO dollar sign. Another example is: In English one thousand dollars is equal to $9,555,333.00. In French one thousand dollars is equal to 9 555 333,00. Can you help me create this custom format? Your help is great appreciated!! Thank you, Kent -- FORUM RULES (925+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
