Is there a simple way of displaying cell values in thousands? I don't want to create a new column with a formula such as "=A1/1000". I'd like to be able to visually see the value with the thousands removed, yet see the entire value when editing the cell. Is there a way to do something like this?
 
Directly from the Excel help file:
To display a comma as a thousands separator or to scale a number by a multiple of one thousand, include a comma in the number format.

To display Use this format code
12000 as 12,000 #,###
12000 as 12 #,
12200000 as 12.2 0.0,,
 
Format cell with user defined format, using (# ) (hash and SPACE, without brackets).
