have you tried to change your regional settings 

and then if you dont customize the format you should be able to add the thousand separator which I am assuming you are trying to do.

Hey @aishak12 ,

if you use manual formatting options you cannot add the standard ones. They are grayed out as you already realized.

Sorry, I didn't full understand how the result should look like. Can give me an example how the result should look like, then I can give you a proposal.

If you need any help please let me know.

If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
