Conditional formating of currency symbols
Conditional formating of currency symbols
(OP)
I have a costing spread sheet which uses costs in GBP.
In the results column I have the final price in GBP but I also want to convert this to other currencies in the next column.
The first part (calculation) is easy, but what i want to do is apply a conditional format that applies the appropriate currency format for that currency.
It would be nice and tidy to do this if the solution is simple and available but if it gets too complex, then I'll just create a column adjacent with the currency symbol and in the data column, and format the currency data without currnecy symbols.

RE: Conditional formating of currency symbols
You can use a currency format with any currency symbol, if you need that. Just pick Format / Cells / Number / Currency.

I had about expected that and am using the alternate column for a symbol and no currency symbol in the actual currency data column....
shame as it isn't tidy but it works.
