Default Automated currency symbols


Hi All,

I wondered if anyone has any ideas for me. I've created a spreadsheet
for one of our sales guys to prove how quickly our product will pay for
itself. I've included a box where the user enters the current
conversion rate of £pounds to $dollars, €uros, ¥en etc. which
automatically updates the prices for all the products.

However, I'm looking for a way to it to display the correct currency
symbol as well as the correct prices. I've experimented with creating
a drop-down list with the relevant countries and it populates the
previous cells before the figures with the correct currency symbol
(using IF) but this isn't really cutting the mustard as I need to
display alternative symbols for about fifteen different currencies.

Would anyone know the best way to go about this? I'd greatly
appreciate any hints or suggestions anyone might have to offer!

Thanks,
Angela
