Re: Rounding to thousands in excel

Hmm...

(1) What rounding rules are you proposing? Your first example rounds
DOWN, your third example rounds UP.

(2) With that, your example rounds to hundred thousands, not thousands -
there's no way to do that just with formatting. You can round to the
closest 100,000 with:

=ROUND(A1,-5)


To round just the display to *thousands*:

Format/Cells/Number/Custom #,##0,

Does anyone know of a way to round to thousands in excel with a custom

If the number is 49,677,298.86 I want 49,600 to display
If the number is 3,037,136.67 I want 3,000 to display
If hte number is 2,369,098.33 I want 2,400 to display

Thanks for your help.
