Entering currency values

You can include a currency symbol when entering numbers. Ability will understand that you want a currency format. All these are valid currency entries:

$12
$123,456
$123,456.00

Note: The currency symbol you use must match the setting in the Windows Control Panel. For example, this will be the dollar symbol ($) if you are in the US and the pound symbol (£) in the UK. If not, Ability will treat the cell content as text and you won’t be able to perform arithmetical calculations on it.
