If that "dot" is a decimal point and you want 3 decimal places shown in
units of millions, then try this Custom Format...

#,##0.000,,

If, instead, that "dot" is your thousands separator and you want to display
your number in units of thousands, then try this Custom Format...

#,##0,

I don't have any international experience, so I'll assume Bernie is correct
in his posting... substitute your thousand separator for my comma and your
decimal point for my "dot" in the Custom Formats I posted.

Tommy,

Try a custom number format with either

0,0,

or

0.0.

depending on what your thousands separator is.
