If you want to use the Indian Numbering System, you must select the corresponding digit grouping setting 12,34,56,789 in the Currency and Number tabs of Customize Format (press Windows key+R, type control intl.cpl and press Enter or click OK, then click Additional settings...)

1000000000 will then be displayed as 1,00,00,00,000.00

great tip , "," never knew that in excel number formatting, where did you learn it? :)
You can also use \ as an escape character. Hence
#\,###\,##\,##\,##0.00
should also work. On the other hand
0 "dog biscuits";;"Out of dog biscuits"
is better with double-quotes!

It's a nice trick, but such formats have the disadvantage that they don't work well for all numbers:

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.

it worked! Thank you so much:smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Once again it has been proven that there are many ways to find a solution in excel.
