When I type numbers in currency all I get is #######
After I type an amount in a cell, it turns to pound signs as soon as I go to
the next cell. How can I fix this? Amanda |

It could mean a few things.
1. The columnwidth is too narrow to show the number. Widen the column or change the font size of that cell. Or change the numberformat to General. 2. You have a date/time in that cell and it's negative Don't use negative dates. If excel was helping you, it may have changed the format to a date. Change it back to General (or some other number format). If you need to see negative date/times: Tools|options|Calculation Tab|and check 1904 date system (but this can cause trouble--watch what happens to your dates and watch what happens when you copy|paste dates to a different workbook that doesn't use this setting) 3. You have a lot of text in the cell, the cell is formatted as Text. Format the cell as general. 4. You really have ###'s in that cell. Clean up that cell. 5. You have # in a cell, but it's format is set to Fill. Change the format (format|cells|alignment tab|horizontal box, change it to General. mommy4shane wrote: After I type an amount in a cell, it turns to pound signs as soon as I go to the next cell.

all you have to do is click on your cell or highlight the cells that this
problem happens in.. then go to 'format',cells, currency click on symbol and selct none! ---- Karla "mommy4shane" wrote: After I type an amount in a cell, it turns to pound signs as soon as I go to the next cell. How can I fix this? Amanda |
