The answer is accounting number format
There is a format which is called Number, which gives you the option of having the thousand separators.
Highlight the range where you want to apply, then press CTRL+1 and click on "Number" and check the option that says "use 1000 separator (,)"
Format | Format Cell | Number Tab | Number -- Click box in front of "Use 1000 Separator" >> In Excel this type of format is known as "accounting number format"
You have the comma style that will do it from the toolbar, or you can do it by using the numeric format called Number and ticking the "Use 1000 Separator" tick box.
You can achieve this format using the following custom number format: "$#,##0.00". This format will display the dollar sign to the left of the number and insert commas for thousands separator.
The comma style will format numbers with two decimal places and insert commas as thousand separators. So if you had a number like 3455679 in a cell and formatted it as comma style, it would come up as:3,455,679.00
9,000,833 using commas for thousand separators.

When it is formatted to the comma style it will appear as 16,777,216.00 including the two decimal points at the end. They can be removed if you wanted.
