    Change your PC's regional / location settings.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Depends on OS, but Control Panel > Clock, Language and Region > Region and Language > Formats > Format:

    Change from English (Indian) to English (United States)

    Re: Problem With Dollar Function

    Rather than changing regional settings perhaps try changing your formula in A5, using TEXT function instead of DOLLAR, i.e.

    ="The "&A9&" is "&TEXT(-B9,"$0.00")

    DOLLAR function always reverts to your "local" currency, if you use $ in TEXT function then that will persist whatever your regional settings

    Re: Problem With Dollar Function

    Agree with daddylonglegs.
    That's what I was talking about: if you use DOLLAR function in some other workbook where you want Rs as result you will get $ (cause you change regional settings).

    Maybe you want that, I don't know. But you need to keep that in mind.
