Hi @pavitrajindal,

Take a look at below formula if it suitable for your requirment:

Format =
var b= INT(MOD([Amount],10000000)/100000)
var c= INT(MOD([Amount],100000)/1000)
var d= INT(MOD([Amount],1000))
return
IF(LEN([Amount])>=6,b&","&REPT("0",2-LEN(c))&c&","&REPT("0",3-LEN(d))&d,if(LEN([Amount])>=4,c&","&REPT("0",3-LEN(d))&d,d))&".00"

Notice, Above formula will convert the type to text and it  is hard to convert the formatted text to numeric type.

Hi @pavitrajindal,

I haven't found a way to format numeric value and keep it's type.
In addition, you can also use format function to format the display text(it also change the columns type)

Format =
IF (
    [Amount] >= 1000000,
    FORMAT ( [Amount], "#,#0,##0" ),
    IF (
        [Amount] >= 1000,
        FORMAT ( [Amount], "#,##0" ),
        FORMAT ( [Amount], "General Number" )
    )
)
