SOLVED - Help with custom column format string to force a comma

UPDATE: Solved as of Post #5.

ORIGINAL POST:
Umm..I DON'T follow all the info on this stuff but I try. I've tried various combinations but only get text of what I try returned in a custom column.

Column is #words which counts words in the book.
Current formatting is simply integer.

I want it to return the number with a comma to indicate the thousands.

I've looked at the info on Format String Syntax and the format() function.
I can't get any combo I've tried to work. It looks like it should be simple, but it ISN'T HAPPENING. I'm feeling like an idiot over this.

Could someone help with this?
