    But I do not see English India among the drop downs. Office version is 2010. My OS is Windows 8 installed with English India. Can I correct this ?

    I am using Office 2016 and I have selected Currency English (India) but some Rectangular Box is coming instead of the Rupee Symbol as shown below:
    ₹ 100.00
    ₹ 1,000.00
    ₹ 200.00
    ₹ 2,500.00
    Please advise.

    Any suggestions on how to get comma formatting for lakhs. I would like to use 1lk as:
    ₹1,00,000. Right now I see it as ₹100,000.
    How do I fix this?

      A) Select all the cells where you want the numbers to then display in Lakhs and Crores (let’s say entire D column).
      B) Right-click and go to ‘Format cells’ (shortcut to go to format cells is Ctrl + 1).
      C) Select ‘Custom’ and in the ‘Type’ box, type this.
      [>=10000000]##\,##\,##\,##0;[>=100000] ##\,##\,##0;##,##0.
      D) Press Ok.
      E) Enjoy
