Excel number format for abbreviation

Viewed 311

Here is what I want to accomplish:

Value           Display
1               1
11              11
111             111
1111            1.11k
11111           11.11k
111111          111.11k
1111111         1.11M
11111111        11.11M
111111111       111.11M
1111111111      1.11B
11111111111     11.11B
111111111111    111.11B

This is the format that a Bloomberg terminal uses to display currency figures. Numbers don't go past B.

Here is what I have tried so far:

[>999999999.999]#,,,"B";[>999999.999]#,,"M";#,##0_M

I stole it from here and I cannot find documentation that shows how to improve it.
