Default can a symbol be inserted in front of existing data

Click FORMAT in the menu and select CELLS. Click the NUMBER tab and in the
CATEGORY column locate and select CUSTOM. In the TYPE field to the right of
the category column enter one of the following format masks. Be sure to
enclose the # with quotes on both sides.

"#"#

or

"#"#,##0
or
"#"#,##0.00
