Converting data displayed in thousands into millions

Is there a way to convert entire work sheets from £'000 into £m without needing to alter each cell manually?
Many thanks
Kate

RE: Converting data displayed in thousands into millions

Hi Kate, thanks for your query. Select your cells, right click on them and choose Format Cells. Then choose Custom under the Number formats and type the custom format into the right hand side field exactly as below:

#.0,,

That will turn 1500000 into 1.5. If you need the units, just add them to the end of the custom format.

Hope this helps,

Anthony
