Hi Everyone,

I create invoices in several currencys and I constantly have to change the formating of column J, K, & N which i can sometimes forget.
however ever company has is currency stated in cell B2 of the sheet.

so is there an easy way to format the cell to show the correct currancy?
i.e. if B2= "Dollar" then format "$" "GBP" then format "£" ?

I know I can d it with VBA but was wondering if there was a excel way as I've loads of these to set up.

any ideas would be apreciated.

Thanks

Tony
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
You could use the TEXT function and a helper column, =TEXT(J1, IF($B$2="dollar","$","£")&"#,##0.00")

Hopefully, you are using a currency correction value in your formulas.
