Custome number format help

I have a series of cells that will hold values such as 350,000.00. This
value is entered by the user and entire amount is used in calculations
across the worksheet.

I want the output to be 350k. This way, more columns can be viewed at a
time and makes for easier reading than a number with all the zeros.

I can't get the customer number format to "hide" the zeros.

WB, I put

#,k

in the custom formatting box and it looks like it worked
