how much is this in USD?

[TechBoyJK]

I'm dealing with a customer that doesn't write good english. He is from Mumbai and I'm trying to figure out how much he can afford.

He says

We have a budget of Rs. 1,20,000 approx. INR Annually

How much is this?

 

[secretanchitman]

$2,486.75 according to xe.com.

hellz no. They want like $800 per month worth of services.. The number above is their annual budget, which is about $208 per month.

For eg, numbers here are represented as:
1
10
100
1,000
10,000
1,00,000
10,00,000
1,00,00,000
10,00,00,000

and so on

The seperators are after two digits, except for the last set, which is in thousands.

Custom cell format :
=REPLACE(TEXT(B2,"##"",""##"",""##"",""##"",""##"",""##"",""###"),1,6-INT((LEN(B2)>3)+(LEN(B2)-4)/2),"")
