Style Currency Resolution For Free

The Microsoft Excel DOLLAR function converts a number to text, using a currency format. The format used is $#,##0.00_);($#,##0.00). The DOLLAR function is a built-in function in Excel that is categorized as a String/Text Function. It can be used as a worksheet function (WS) in Excel.

If more or fewer than two decimal places are used, Excel will not recognize the cell as containing currency values. Finally, another reason why currency values may not be recognized as such is because they are entered into cells that are not adjacent to each other.

When you apply the Currency format to a number, the currency symbol appears right next to the first digit in the cell. You can specify the number of decimal places that you want to use, whether you want to use a thousands separator, and how you want to display negative numbers.

Currency Localization Depending on the context, a special symbol ( $ or US$ ), or an ISO 4217 currency code ( USD ) is used to represent the currency. Some locales place the currency symbol to the left of the number, while others place the symbol to the right.

For US dollars, the symbol '$' is sufficient abbreviation, unless there is a mixture of dollar currencies in the text. For other dollar currencies, '$' should be prefixed with the country abbreviation. For all other currencies, write the figure first followed by the currency name, for example, '100 million yuan'.

In the Format Cells dialog box, in the Category list, click Currency or Accounting. In the Symbol box, click the currency symbol that you want. Note: If you want to display a monetary value without a currency symbol, you can click None.

Format Cells Window Selecting Format Cells option from the list. This will open the Format Cells window. Select either Currency or Accounting to display the currency symbol in the cell. You can also change the number of decimal places you want to display.
