Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
G'day Muhammad,

There are a few methods that may do what you want, however can you please clarify or confirm the following:
1. Lattitude can be either a 7 or 8 digit number, with the decimal after the first digit in both cases
2. Longitude is always a 9 digit number with the decimal always after the third digit
3. There is no other means of distinguishing the Lats from Longs other than the number of digits OR are they in different columns or rows?

Simple division would do it - which is why I asked the questions about the number of digits.

Assuming that the three number lengths you gave above are fixed, i.e Lats only come as 7 or 8 digit numbers and Longs only come in 9 digit numbers, then the following formula placed in a new column would work

=IF(LEN(A2)=8,A2/10^7,A2/10^6)

If the data is A2 is 8 digits it divides it by 10^7 to put the decimal point after the first digit, otherwise it divides by 10^6 to put the decimal behind the first digit in a 7 digit number or the third digit in a 9 digit number.
