Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
What is the method of formatting? If it was formatted using the toolbar buttons for quick formatting of currency, changing the alignment and such will not work.

Are you getting a protection error as if the sheet is protected or anything?

All I've done is try to change the format of one of the columes and I can't do it. No matter what format I select nothing happens. It seems to be locked at the currency fomat with the $ sign. I just wan a 2 decimal number with no $ sign.

Is there any way to unlock this columne or do I have to re-type the entire column of data?

What if....let's try this....Tool - Protection. If the first choice is Unprotect Sheet then select that and that should be it. If it is Protect Sheet we must try something else.
