formatting a cell to show number in millions

I would like to format a cell that I already have a formula in to show the number in millions (i.e.  1,084,462,449 would appear as 1,084.462).  Is it possible to format the cell to show this or do I need another column and have to put a round function in?  If it does require a round, could you detail the formula?

Thanks,Carol

    You can apply the custom number format

    #,##0.000,,

    to the cell or cells. Note the two commas at the end of the format. Each comma divides the displayed value by thousand, so two commas divide by thousand*thousand = one million.

    Hi,

    The precise format would depend on what you want to always display before and after the decimal place. This custom format displays at least one number before and 2 after the decimal place, these of course may be zero. The underlying number isn't cjanged

    ##0.00#,,
