I have a large data set that is currently displayed in thousands (ex.
2115.005), how do I change to display in millions (ex. 2,115,005)?

Right-click FormatCells NumberTab NumberSelection 0 DecimalPlaces
check the "Use thousands separator" box

You'd need to multiply by 1000 as well, wouldn't you, Chuck?
[Though the OP has been inconsistent in referring to numbers "displayed in
thousands" and "displayed in millions" as in his example he seems to have
gone from thousands to units.]
