I have a Google Spreadsheet and I have a lot of numbers in it. Those numbers are very big ones like 2,000,000 or 15,000,000,000

I would like to make the them into k or m style, like 2m or 2000k or 15000m.

And I'd like to ignore the smaller part of the numbers, for example, I need to turn 2,153,278 into 2.15m or 2153k.

I checked the official topic Format numbers in a spreadsheet. I tried a lot of ways but I still don't get the rules. Is it even possible to do that?

, represents a thousand.

Custom number formatting:

0,K

Or

0,,\M

Or

0.00,,\M

  • Awesome! Thanks very much! Have two questions: Why do we need an extra ` \ ` before the M? Another question, what if I want to add a , into the number, for example, to turn 2150k into 2,150k? Feb 23, 2018 at 14:40
