Abbreviate number
You can customize the number formatting in the Format Cells dialog.

2. In the Format Cells dialog, click Number > Custom, and type [>999999]#,,"M";#,"K" into Type textbox. See screenshot:
3. Click OK to close dialog, now the large numbers are abbreviated.
Tip: If you just need to abbreviate the large number as thousand “K” or million “M”, you can type #,"K" or #,,"M" into the textbox. And if you want to display much larger number like 12000000000 or 12000000000 as 12B or 12T, you need to type #,,,"B" or #,,,,"T". And if you need to show million and trillion together, you need this [>999999999.999]#,,,"B";[>999999.999]#,,"M";#,##0 _M.
