How about this?

[>=1000000000] $#,###,, "Billion";[>=1000000]$#.#,, "Mil"; $#, "k"

HTH,

[>=1000000000] $#,###,, "Billion";[>=1000000]$#0.0,, "Mil"; $#, "k"

woops,

I mean

[>=1000000000] $#,###,, "Billion";[>=1000000]$#.0,, "Mil"; $#, "k"

But 1,965,532 will round up to 2.0 mil because 60,000 is rounding up causing
900,000 to round up to the next mil

1,945,532 should round to 1.9 mil.

Just noticed your format for billion is wrong. It's formatting 1.5 Billion
as 1,500 Billion. Try this:

[>=1000000000] $#,##0.0,,, "Billion";[>=1000000]$#0.0,, "Mil"; $#, "k"

Another thing:

1,838,928,000 will be displayed as $1,839 Billion, which is technically
incorrect. That would either be 1.8 billion or 1,839 million (sorry about
the nerdy anal-ness).

Thought I'd let you know. If it is for something official, you might want
to change that or it might look like your numbers are off by 3 decimal
places.

If it is just for yourself, just keep that in mind.

[>=1000000000] $#.0,, "Billion";[>=1000000]$#.0,, "Mil"; $#, "k"

will get you "$1.8 Billion"

[>=1000000000] $#,###,, "Million";[>=1000000]$#.0,, "Mil"; $#, "k"

will get you "$1,839 Million"
