Want $1 to appear in a cell - Text
 

I want to have "$1" appear in the cell. This is how I formatted the cell

..Range(currRow, currColumn).NumberFormat = "Text"

..Range(currRow, currColumn).Value = "$1"



When I view the contents of the cell it shows

T1900xt



What is going on? How can I get "$1" to appear in the cell





Thanks

Thanks for the info, the results are better but not exactly what I want.
The cell now has a "1" in it without the dollar sign. I would like to keep
the dollar sign. I also noticed that the cell is left justified, so it
seems it isn't stored as a number, but a character.

Actually it's coming in through SQL programatically and it was entered into
Excel through a SyncFusion control (first time I tried it) and the command
used to store the data was:
worksheet.Range(currRow, currColumn).Value =
drow(dcolumn.ColumnName).ToString.Trim



but when I changed the .Value to .Text, it worked. I changed the
NumberFormat to "@" and to "General" and to "Text" but it still didn't work
until I changed the range to .Text. But you are right, I should have
provided more information on where the data was coming from. I just thought
it was a formatting issue.



Thanks,



Henry

Since this is your second posting of this problem, maybe you could provide
some more information. Are you typing the data into the cells or is it
being
entered programmatically through SQL or other means? Are all cells in the
used range doing the same thing or is it just one cell in the range? Do
you
have code that copies data from a cell that is formatted differently from
the
problem cell you are
pasting to? You know, a few things that will help us understand how the
data is being obtained and handled.
