How to get thousand seperator after every two digits

[Vanga Sasidhar]

Hi,

When i enter a number in excel and when thousand separator is
applied it is adding comma after every three digits.

123,345,678.00

But i want to have the comma after every two digits after the first
separator as follows.

12,34,567.00

This is how we in india use. But even though i changed this setting
in Regional and Language Options, it is not at all effecting in excel. i
am using windows XP SP2 and Excel 2003. Please let me know is there
anything else should i change in excel to get this type of setting for
my numbers.

With Regards,
Vanga Sasidhar.

Format the cell as

[>=10000000]##\,##\,##\,##0.00;[>=100000]##\,##\,##0.00;##,##0.00

will format say 1234567890 as 123,45,67,890.00
