Format numbers in thousands (K) in Excel

Question

In MS Excel, I would like to format a number in order to show only thousands and with \'K\' in from of it, so the number 123000 will be displayed in the cell as 123K

Answer 1

The examples above use a 'K' an uppercase k used to represent kilo or 1000. According to wiki, kilo or 1000's should be represented in lower case. So, rather than £300K, use £300k or in a code example :-

[>=1000]£#,##0,"k";[red][<=-1000]-£#,##0,"k";0
