Good, happy to help!
A minor correction to the template: The old one didn't round, this one will round to the closest thousand words:
{#word:'re(divide(add($, 500) ,1000),'\..*','k')'}
Ie 9500 -> 10k and 9499 -> 9k. Even nittier pick: Lower case 'k' is kilo, upper case 'K' is Kelvin.
On a side note I'd like a "test template with the following value" field on the "Edit a custom column" dialog, restarting Calibre after every change to check if it works quickly gets old
