💡 Quick Tip:

• Using Custom Format ([$-km-KH,1200]0) only changes how numbers look on screen. The actual cell value remains a real number, so formulas like =SUM(), =AVERAGE(), or calculations still work 100% perfectly!
• If you type Khmer digits manually as text (e.g. ១២៣), Excel treats them as text strings, so math formulas won't calculate them directly. Always use Custom Format for best result!
