Default Change Currency symbol dependant upon selected cell value

I'm back on my old favourite again, the wonderful cost estimate
spreadsheet. This time i've been asked to give it an "International
capability".

What this means is I have a table of countries that we might produce
estimates for, containing rates for each country for anual salary rate,
RPI %, Local tax (VAT/Purchase tax), DASD, Tape, Network and Memory
rates. That little lot isn't too much of a problem to incorporate into
the calculations. Where i'm having problems is that the resulting
figures/totals are required to be displayed using the Currency symbol
(also in the table) for the country the estimate is being produced for,
i=2Ee. USA =3D $, UK =3D =A3, Euro Region =3D =80 etc. etc. etc ........
currently up to 12 different currencies and liable to grow.

Can anyone me a suggestion/solution as to how to achieve the seemingly
impossible please ?

Thanks and Regards

The best I can think of is an if statement used in Totals cells:
=3DIF(A1=3D1,TEXT(SUM(D1:D5),"$ 0.00"),IF(A1=3D2,TEXT(SUM(D1:D5),"=80
0=2E00"),""))

Anyone have a better idea? Anybody? Buehler? Buehler?

Thanks Dave, Looks like a fairly straightforward solution.

This does leave one question unanswered, namely, how to get the
currency symbol to appear on manually entered rate values, such as 10
pencils rate =800.50 or $0.50 or =A30.25. etc. The result would display
correctly =805.00, $5.00, =A32.50 but not the unit cost field.

Fred
