Space as thousand seperator using Format()

Hi,

 

I need to use a space as thousand seperator in my format function: 

In this example i used ',' as a seperator and everything is fine:

when I change the ',' with a ' ' (space) you see the formatted text is all messed up.

Hi @amitchandak , 

 

as you can see below, when the number > 1M , it doesn't show the seperator with your solution.

I was looking for a more generic or automatic way, but if there is no other solution I will have to do it this way .. 

 

Thanks for your answers.
