    Format Currency

    I am trying to format the columns on my worksheet as currency but the numbers are imported as general when I try just using the currency it changes 8700 t0 $8700.00. I need the result to be $87.00. I have a total of 15 columns that need this same formatting. RBR EXAMPLE.xlsx

    Hi lornaerland,

    Looks like all you need to do is Format Cells

    Highlight desired cells to convert to currency --> Right Click & Select Format Cells -- Go to Numbers Tab & Select Currency

    Add or remove cents if desired

    Is this what you are looking to do?

    Re: Format Currency

    Formatting won't change the actual value of the cells.
    Try this:
    • Put 0.01 in a cell
    • Copy that cell
    • Select the range of cells you want impacted/converted
    • Home.Paste.PasteSpecial...Check: Multiply...Click: OK
    THEN format those values as currency.

    Is that something you can work with?
