Thanks for the good words :)) - PeterBartholomew1Mar 22, 2021Silver ContributorYou can also use \ as an escape character. Hence
#\,###\,##\,##\,##0.00
should also work. On the other hand

Good point!
[<100000]#,##0.00;[<10000000]#\,##\,##0.00;###\,##\,##0.00
will deal with smaller numbers but then the number formats would need to be combined with conditional formatting to accommodate very large numbers.
