Default creating formula help

You could also try a custom number format (Format/Cells/Custom - enter
0.##### "CAD" in the text box that appears.

when you enter 2.12877, it will show as 2.12877 CAD, but the value in the
cell will still be a number, so

=A3-A2

You would have to remove the " CAD" from your data which could be done with
Find/Replace. Find " CAD", Replace with nothing. Just be sure to backup
before experimenting.
