Format Cells to Currency - Excel iOS 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 three circles.
The first callout shows that a green box will surround the cell or range of cells that you want to format to Currency. The second callout shows that you have to tap, hold, and drag the bottom circle so the box will surround all the cells you want to format to Currency. The third callout shows the three circles at the bottom right corner for the main menu to show up.

  2. Scroll down the Home menu options and tap "Number Format."
  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 "i" icon.
  5. Scroll down and tap "Choose symbol."
The first callout shows submenu called "Home." The second callout shows "Number Formal" option. The third callout points the "Currency" option under the Number Formal menu. The fourth callout points to the "i" icon next to the Currency option. The fifth callout shows the "Choose Symbol" 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).
The first callout shows the "$ English (United States)" option under the Choose Symbol menu. The second callout shows that the range of cells that are selected now has a $ symbol.

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.
