To format a number in thousands or millions you need to know a little about custom number formats:
🔊 Custom number format use 0 to represent a number that will always be shown and # to represent a number that is shown only if present. As such format 000 applied to 12 would show as 012, but with a format of 0 or ##0 would show as 12...because # means only show if a number present.
A comma is used to separate thousands so format #,##0 will show 1234 as 1,234 but format 0,000 would show it as 0,123 because a 0 in the format means show a digit even if not present.

If we enter a number of 1234.567 in a cell then the following custom number formats will give the following results:
Format = 0 » Result 1235 (No decimal places so rounds)
Format = 0.0 » Result 1234.6 (One decimal places so rounds)
Format = #,##0 » Result 1,235 (Show a comma every thousand - only where present)
Format = #, » Result 1 (round but don't show all under one thousand)
Format = #.0, » Result 1.2 (round but don't show all under one hundred)
