Millions, thousands and ...?

Hi everyone,
at work, my colleagues and I produce financial reports. The numbers are big, so we usually show them in million EUR or in thousand EUR. Now I need to ask for a report just in EUR. How do I ask to make it absolutely clear? Please report in - singles? units? ones?
Thanks.

How do I ask to make it absolutely clear?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you mean that instead of EUR 10,000,000 you want to see EUR 10 or EUR 10m?

Or do you mean that instead of "10 million EUR", you want "EUR 10,000,000"?

"Please write the numbers in full." ?

It might help to give an example.

Please write amount in full numbers (or digits), for example "EUR 10,000,000".

If they are filling out a form or using a database, "please enter..." instead of "please write" might work better.

"Please show amounts to the nearest euro."

Just curious, but why don't you just multiply it yourself (unless, of course, the people providing the info round up when putting the # in millions or thousands).

Thanks for the phrases "write the numbers in full" and "show amounts to the nearest euro". They will be very useful in my future communication.

In this case, I'm really looking for a single word. Let me give you an example. Number 12,345,678 needs to be shown in an excel table like this:

Millions Thousands ???
12 345 678

What do I call the last column?

# 7: The spaces in my example of an excel table disappeared, and I realize it's not clear what I meant. Let me put it like this:

12,345,678 needs to be shown like this:

Millions: 12
Thousands: 345
???: 678

Oh, that's easy: 'Units'.

Yes, the answer to your last question is units. But whether your readers will understand simply "please report in units" I don't know. At least you have to say "Please report in units (not thousands or millions)." I think I like TonyK's idea of "to the nearest euro" or "to the nearest euro (not the nearest thousand or million)."

You know, I don't think I'd understand "units" especially if I were looking at an Excel table. I'd expect "hundreds," even if 001 is not a "hundred."

So, if you gave me a blank Excel table & told me to enter millions, thousands & units, I might be puzzled.

But nutrax, 'millions, thousands & hundreds' would be completely brain-dead. Er, right?

And let's not forget the 'tens'.

Maybe I'm brain-dead this evening: hundreds 6, tens 7, units 8.

It was certainly customary and prudent (at least in Scotland) in the days when cheques were common to write a fairly large one thus: Pounds, Hundreds, Six....

So you would write 678 on a cheque as 'Hundreds Six, Tens Seven, Units Eight'? I've never heard of this, but then I've never lived in Scotland. I would write 'Six hundred and seventy-eight', but I accept that your method is more systematic.

For big cheques you would write the largest denomination first - and ensure the numerals were written fairly closely together and that the first started as close as possible to the left-hand margin of the box.

'Pounds, hundreds, six, tens, seven - and eight' or 'Pounds, hundreds, six - and seventy eight'. I don't think units were specified, to be fair, on hand-written cheques - but they may have been a few decades before.

Certainly, in the case of printed cheques, even today, this is the format, right down to units - and pence.
