Default how to change from dollars to pounds in a balance sheet

I would suggest that you worksheet is protected if you cannot access these
features like FormatCells and FormatStyle

Go to ToolsProtection and see if "Unprotect sheet" is available.

You may have to supply a password.

You can change the Currency Icon ($) by doing the following: Go to the
format menu and select Style... Choose Currency from the Style name: dropdown
box; choose the modify button and select English(United Kingdom) from the
Symbol: dropdown box. Select ok. You use the icon the same way....click on
the cell you want to format and then click the Currency Icon ($)
