    Hi nlm,

    Do you see "more accounting symbol" after fr.French (Switzerland)?

    Re: Currency symbol

    Do you only want the currency symbol, or do you also want to add letters to indicate what kind of currency e.g. AUS$100? If the latter, I think you will need to set a custom number format.

    in the Home tab, under cells, select format > format cells > custom

    in the box, type "AUS"$0.00 (note the letters go in double quotation marks, the dollar symbol comes after)

    press enter

    this will create a new custom number format you can apply to all your Australian dollar values

    I appreciate your help but I want to replace Chinese and French symbol with AUD and NZD in number pane as attached. I think some change has to be done with accounting formats.

    Thanks.

    Did you try DILIPandey's suggestion - click "more accounting formats" and then the Symbol box - this gives you lots of options for currency formats.

    Re: Currency symbol

    I am working the way DILIPandey suggests, but it takes a lot more time to locate different currency symbol from box. My purpose is to make a shortcut. There is no chance to use Chinese/french symbol that's why I post to seek way to replace these symbols.

    Thanks.

    Re: Currency symbol

    what appears in the drop down depends on what region you select in your regional and language settings in control panel. it looks like you have US settings as US is at the top.

    however one way to quickly custom format a cell/cells is cell styles
    in cell styles from the home tab create a new style choose the format as say nzd from accounting
    call the format "nzd"
    now enter a number in a cell or select a blank cell,click cells styles and click your style"nzd"
