Default numeric value is not formatting correctly

Hello everybody,
I have one small problem. Hope someone can shed some light on.
I'm using =LEFT(A2,5) fuction to extract some numeric values. Once the value
is extracted in different cell (let say C2), the value in C2 is not
formatting correctly. And what I mean by that is that the $ sign or "," is
not applicable to format the extracted value. Yes, once you over write it, it
will format like $ 23.00 but you have to overwite it. Now I have atleast over
a thousand rows and it will take lot of time if I have to do cell by cell. Is
there is way that I can highlight the extracted values and somehow able to
format correctly?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Fam
