Excel Facts

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Use a custom format.

25068 with custom format 0.0, k looks like 25.1 k
25568 with custom format 0.0, k looks like 25.6 k

25068 with custom format 0, k looks like 25 k
25568 with custom format 0, k looks like 26 k

However, you can't make 25068 look like 25 k and 25568 look like 25.5 k with the same custom format.

Hope that helps!
