Hi everyone, I have a problem where in excel the default currency is Pounds and so everytime I put in a formula dealing with $$ it comes out with £...I've done it before but can't remember how to make NZ$ the default value....can anyone help?

And yes I can change it cell at a time but it's a pain having to do it sall the time....

Oh and I use Office XP...

Thanks....but I mean to set this as the default for everytime currency is the selected format for the cell(s) - when I currently do this, the format is pounds. Then I change it by using the above method.....

343650 2005-04-11 07:51:00 I'm sure the settings are based on the regional settings for your system which are accessed through Control Panel/Regional and Language Options (or something similar).

If you check your settings there, you may find they are set for English(UK). Change it and you'll probably find Excel will display the $ symbol.

Cheers.

PS It may also explain why your system time hasn't changed from Daylight saving time.

Please ignore the PS re the time. I just saw the times of the replies including mine - the error must be with the F1 Forums system.

Cheers.
