When I saw the original message my though was that the
person made a typo and had actually used #,##0","
instead of #,##0"."
But waited for someone to come up with another
reason?? Would just be one key off.

On my version (6.1.5) both of these formats display the cell

formatting, inputting 123.45 results in cell content 12345.
This thread caught my eye and I can't imagine the use case for displaying the
digital point as the OP wishes - but I gave his model a try as I did also with
the two expressions proposed by Chuck. I am using Calc 6.4.7.2 in Ubuntu
20.04.2 The results were surprising.
I entered 123.59 in some cells in 3 columns formatted as: -
1) Numbers #,##0"."
2) Numbers #,##0\.
3) Numbers #,##0..
All three columns then displayed my entries as "124." ie, rounded up and with a final
"."
But, when I entered 123.59 into other empty cells in those 3 pre-formatted columns, my
new entries were displayed as "12,359." in each case.
So applying the format to an already entered number gives a final "." - I don't
know whether the rounding up is acceptable or not. But I imagine the OP wants to enter
his number into cells that already have his format applied.
Curiously, when I selected my 3 columns and attempted to return to 'normality' by
formatting the cells to Numbers > General, nothing happened. I had to change to
some other format than Number (eg date) and then back to numbers-general to get a
result.
When Numbers-General was eventually restored, the "124." entries were returned to their original states of
"123.59" but those entries applied to the pre-formatted columns and which then displayed as
"12,359." became "12359" under the restored numbers-general regime.

On my version (6.1.5) both of these formats display the cell
contents with a trailing decimal point, but with this
formatting, inputting 123.45 results in cell content 12345.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc: Formatting cell with decimal point but no decimal digits
Using LibreOffice 7.0.5.2 on macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), setting the
number format to "#,##0\." (without the quotes, of course) works for me.
("#,##0.." also works, but that's too bizarre. ;-)

[libreoffice-users] Calc: Formatting cell with decimal point but no decimal digits
Type locale in a terminal. What locale are you? I am 'en_US'. This works for me: Type 123.45 in a cell Highlight the cell Format - Cells - 'Numbers' tab - Make 'Decimal places:' under Options zero (0).

In calc, you could format the cell as currency.
