Display values between 0 and 1 as "<1" in Excel Pivot Tables

Question

I have a set of Excel Pivot tables which are showing sales data in the number of thousands using this format code:

#,##0,

i.e. £5,000 would display as 5.

The problem with this format is that some sales lines have only generated £499 or less and they display as a zero.

To avoid confusion, I want any sales of £999 or less to be conditionally formatted to display as "<1" - is there a number format that can do this, as well as showing the number of thousands?

Answer 1

You could use a custom formatting with conditions:

[>=1000]#,##0,;"<1"
