I think it should work to give the right comma separation, but it does not round to Lakhs.
For Lakhs plus Indian comma separation, try this one (tested in Excel 2010): [<-10000000000]-"Rs."#\,##\,##0,,,%%;[<10000000000]"Rs."#,##0,,,%%;"Rs."#\,# #\,##0,,,%% This one also supports negative numbers. Amounts in the range -Rs.99,99,999 to Rs.99,99,999 Lakhs are displayed correctly. It uses the trailing commas and percent symbols to fool Excel into rounding to Lakhs correctly. See http://chandoo.org/wp/2012/01/31/custom-number-formats-multiply-divide-by-an y-power-of-10/ for how this works. If used as-is you will see %% appear after the amounts. To correct for that, you need to: 1. Format the cells with word wrap turned. 2. Press Ctrl-J just before each of the three %% instances to insert a line feed (line break). Easiest if you type the format in without them, then work right to left pressing Ctrl-J at those spots. 3. If you ever try to edit the number format, you will probably find that Excel presents it to you incorrectly to edit, and it will mess up the format if you don't compensate for it. Best to save a copy of the correct format somewhere where you can paste it back in if needed. 4. To format additional cells this way in an existing worksheet, you might find it handy to Copy a correctly formatted cell, and Paste Special - Formats (Alt-E,S,T) to apply the format to the added cells. The line feeds coupled with word wrap will cause the %% to end up on a second line in the cells, but just so long as you don't make the rows taller, they'll remain out of view. Excel does seem to reserve horizontal space for them as if they were on the first line though, giving you a minimum column width wider than you would otherwise require for your amounts to fully show. Sample attached (Excel 2007+). I was unable to get Excel 2010 to save the file correctly in XLS format, so I'm interested to hear if users of Excel 2003 and older can get this to work.
