Indian short currency format in google sheets - google-sheets

Question

In google sheets, I am trying to display numbers in Indian 'short' format with lakhs and crore suffix as follows:
Cell value: 1234, Display as 1.23K
Cell value: 12345, Display as 12.35K
Cell value: 123456, Display as 1.23L [L=lakh]
Cell value: 1234567, Display as 12.35L
Cell value: 12345678, Display as 1.23C [C=Crore]
Cell value: 123456789, Display as 12.35C.
I have tried to modify this custom number format:
[<999950]0.0,"K";[<999950000]0.0,,"M";0.0,,,"B"
by Brook McEachern, but could not able to achieve my required format.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?

indian separator system in B2:
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXREPLACE(REGEXREPLACE(SUBSTITUTE(FLATTEN(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(QUERY(
REGEXEXTRACT(REGEXREPLACE(SUBSTITUTE(FLATTEN(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(QUERY(IFERROR(
REGEXEXTRACT(A2:A, REPT("(.)", IF(LEN(A2:A)=3, LEN(A2:A)-4, LEN(A2:A)-3))), "0"),
"select "&JOIN(",", "Col"&SORT(SEQUENCE(MAX(LEN(A2:A)-3)), 1, )))),,9^9)), " ", ),
"(.{2})", "$1,"), REPT("(.)", IF((LEN(A2:A)-3)+ROUNDDOWN((LEN(A2:A)-3)/2)<1, 1,
(LEN(A2:A)-3)+ROUNDDOWN((LEN(A2:A)-3)/2)))),
"select "&JOIN(",", "Col"&SORT(SEQUENCE(MAX((LEN(A2:A)-3)+
ROUNDDOWN((LEN(A2:A)-3)/2))), 1, )))),,9^9)), " ", ), "^,", )&","&IFNA(
REGEXEXTRACT(A2:A, "...$"), IF(A2:A="",,TEXT(A2:A, "000"))), "^0,$", ))
indian short currency in C2:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(ROUND(A2:A*VLOOKUP(LEN(A2:A), {SEQUENCE(19),
{1; 1; 1; 1; 1; 10^-5; 10^-5; 10^-7; 10^-7; 10^-9; 10^-9;
10^-11; 10^-11; 10^-13; 10^-13; 10^-15; 10^-15; 10^-17; 10^-17}}, 2, 1), 2)&" "&
VLOOKUP(LEN(A2:A), {SEQUENCE(19),
{"Rp"; "Rp"; "Rp"; "Rp"; "Rp"; "L"; "L"; "Cr"; "Cr"; "Arab"; "Arab";
"Kharab"; "Kharab"; "Nil"; "Nil"; "Padma"; "Padma"; "Shankh"; "Shankh"}}, 2, 1)))
side note: ROUND is set to 2 decimal places. this can be set to 0, or ROUND can be completely removed, or it can be replaced by TRUNC if needed

Answer 2

an alternative approach would be as follows...
indian separator system:
=INDEX(IF(IFERROR(N(ABS(A1:A*1)))>0, REGEXREPLACE(REGEXREPLACE(REGEXREPLACE(
REPT(0, 50)&"×"&TEXT(A1:A, "0"), REPT("(..)", 24)&"(...)$",
JOIN(",", "$"&SEQUENCE(25))), "(.*×,?)", ), "-,", "-")&
IFNA(REGEXEXTRACT(A1:A&"", "(\.\d{1})")), A1:A&""))
indian short currency:
=INDEX(IF((IFERROR(N(ABS(A1:A*1)))>0)+(IF(ISBLANK(A1:A),,IFERROR(A1:A*1, 1)=0)),
REGEXREPLACE(TEXT(TRUNC(IFNA(A1:A*(10^-(
VLOOKUP(LEN(TEXT(INT(ABS(A1:A*1)), "0")),
SEQUENCE(8, 1, 6, 2), 1)-1)), A1:A), 1), "0.#"), "(\.)$", )&" "&
HLOOKUP(LEN(TEXT(INT(ABS(A1:A*1)), "0")), {0, SEQUENCE(1, 8, 4, 2);
SPLIT("Rp♦Rp♦L♦Cr♦Arab♦Kharab♦Nil♦Padma♦Shankh", "♦")} , 2), ""&A1:A))
both indian systems combined:
=INDEX(IF((IFERROR(N(ABS(A1:A*1)))>0)+(IF(ISBLANK(A1:A),,IFERROR(A1:A*1, 1)=0)),
REGEXREPLACE(REGEXREPLACE(REGEXREPLACE(
REPT(0, 50)&"×"&REGEXREPLACE(TEXT(TRUNC(IFNA(A1:A*(10^-(
VLOOKUP(LEN(TEXT(INT(ABS(A1:A*1)), "0")),
SEQUENCE(8, 1, 6, 2), 1)-1)), A1:A), 1), "0"), "(\.)$", ), REPT("(..)", 24)&"(...)$",
JOIN(",", "$"&SEQUENCE(25))), "(.*×,?)", ), "-,", "-")&
IFNA(REGEXEXTRACT(A1:A&"", "(\.\d{1})"))&" "&
HLOOKUP(LEN(TEXT(INT(ABS(A1:A*1)), "0")), {0, SEQUENCE(1, 8, 4, 2);
SPLIT("Rp♦Rp♦L♦Cr♦Arab♦Kharab♦Nil♦Padma♦Shankh", "♦")} , 2), A1:A&""))
