formatting number

Hello

I got a pivot table that contains numbers like 8897453

is there a number format that displays this number as divided by 1000 and thus the result is 8,897
I don't want to divide the number by 1000 but displayed as if divided by 1000

kindly advise

May be using Dual function? But don't understand the point of displaying it in one way and underlying being different?

the thing is that we have so many expressions in a dashboard that are related to amounts in currencies

in these expressions we are already formatting amounts as num($(variable),variable_format)

where variable format contains the desired format which is now #,##0.00

First end users wanted to remove decimal points so the change was easy we went to the variable_format and made it #,##0
now the users decided that these amounts should be displayed with K so we needed to divide the amounts by 1000

however this modification is huge so I was trying to find if there is a rapid approach to this modification

okay, but don't know if there a better way to do this.
