Use custom cell formats to display numbers in thousands (000’s)

The Cynic just created a report that shows numbers in thousands, without using the old standby “/1000″ or “*.001″.  See below, the value in cell C8 is 1522952.49.  With the custom cell format, the cell displays 1,523.

How to?

Use the “Format Cells” menu to create a “Custom” format as follows: #,###,;(#,###,)

* Don’t accidentally overlook the comma before the semi colon or the comma before the end parenthesis.
