Thank you for your quick reply!
I'm afraid that my problem is still not solved. What I actually need is that MathCad recognizes $ or € as a unit so that I can calculate with it:
example
cost := 100 $/kW
power := 5 kW
result := cost * power
result = 500 $
When I type the unit in the way you explained MathCad says that there are undefined functions (-> $).

Make a $ the way IRstuff said, type :=1 (or ~1 to make the unit global).
$:=1
Now put $ in the unit placeholder when you define your variables and after the result. It has to be type with ctrl-shft-k like before, but if you highlight the original $ and copy it to the clipboard, you can paste it into all of the placeholders.
