Thousands separator program?

I can't code but is there a way to make a thousands separator program? I would use Omnicalc but it's not compatible with the TI-84 CSE.

I would recommend using the number-to-string method to get the number as a string, find the decimal point, in the string, then loop backwards through it to insert the commas.

Prompt N
","→Str2
{0,.5,1→L₁
NL₁→L₂
Med-Med Y₁
Equ►String(Y₁,Str1
sub(Str1,1,length(Str1)-3→Str1
inString(Str1,".")-1→L
If L<0:length(Str1→L
While L≥4
  sub(Str1,1,L-3)+Str2+sub(Str1,L-2,length(Str1)-L+3)→Str1
  inString(Str1,",")-1→L
End
Str1
