Excel - format number

Do you know how to customize in Excel to format a number in millions.   For example, I want to format (not round) the number 1,234,567 to 1,200,000.  

I don't want the actual number to round or truncate.

Unless there is a format that can mask the value, it can't be one value and display another. You may have to hide the column containing the true values and then create another column with the ROUND() function. In you example, it would be =round(a1,-5). There is also roundup and rounddown if you always want it to round up or down, respectively.
To do millions, you can use a custom format like this:   #,,",000,000"

Your question asks millions, but your example displays 100,000s.  Not sure how to do that.
