FUNCTION DOLLAR
This function converts a number to text format and applies a currency symbol up to specified decimal points. The name of the function (and the symbol that it applies) depends upon your language settings.
How does it work?
=DOLLAR(number,decimals)
Where:
"Number" is a number, a reference to a cell containing a number, or a formula that evaluates to a number.
and "Decimals" is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. If decimals is negative, number is rounded to the left of the decimal point. If you omit decimals, it is assumed to be 2.
Remarks
The major difference between formatting a cell that contains a number with the Cells command (Format menu) and formatting a number directly with the DOLLAR function is that DOLLAR converts its result to text. A number formatted with the Cells command is still a number. You can continue to use numbers formatted with DOLLAR in formulas, because Microsoft Excel converts numbers entered as text values to numbers when it calculates.
