Format Cells to Currency - Excel Android App
  1. Tap the cell you want to format to currency. Or tap the first cell in a range of cells that you want to format to currency. This will create a box around the cell with a circle at the bottom.
  2. Tap, hold, and drag the circle so the box surrounds all the cells you want to format to currency. In this case, we surround cells D2 to D12.
  3. Tap the main menu icon, which looks like a small arrow in the bottom right corner.
Callout number one is pointing at the first cell under Sales column. Callout number two is pointing at the arrow that follows the cells that are surrounded by a green box. Callout number three is pointing at the arrow located at the bottom right corner of the image.


  1. The main menu contains many other menus. Make sure you are on the submenu called "Home."
  2. Scroll down the Home menu options and tap the arrow next on the "Number Format menu item."
  3. On the Number Format menu, tap "Currency." This will format the cells you selected to currency using the default symbol.
  4. To choose the symbol, tap the arrow on the "Currency" menu item.
  5. Scroll down and tap the arrow on the "More Symbols" menu item.
Callout number one is pointing at the Home button. Callout number two is pointing at the arrow to the right of Number Format. Callout number three is pointing at Currency. Callout number four is pointing at the arrow located to the right of Currency. Callout number five is pointing at the arrow next to the More Symbols option.


  1. In this case, we are selecting "$ English (United States)."
  2. Doing so ensures that the $ symbol is used in the selected cells (cell range).
Callout number one is pointing at the dollar sign next to the English (United States) option, and callout number two is pointing at the range of cells surrounded by a green box under the Sales column.

Important! Ensure that you also format cells K2 to K7 and cells N2 to N7 for correct dollar symbols. Follow the same steps as performed for cells D2 to D12.
