Hi
I am guessing that you mean the # symbol for pounds as opposed to Sterling. Mark your range of cellsFormatNumberCustom "#" #0.00 or whatever you want to show in terms of decimal places.

Select the cells. Go to Format - Cells. Select the Number Tab - Currency. Click the dropdown arrow key under Symbol and click on £ English (United Kingdom). OK.
