Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
I am not sure about your caveat of "without wiping out the data already entered."
You can use Paste Special and apply a DIVIDE BY to a range of cells.

I need to divide all the existing values by 1000. so I have to insert this in every cell =/1000
Is there a formula by which I can copy and paste the cell by 1000 rather than manually amend it.

Is this what you mean? Test with some sample data.

Put 1000 in an empty cell
Now copy that cell that contains the 1000
Select the cells that you want divided
Right-click -> Paste special... -> Divide -> OK
