$ or £'s

Hi, I live in the UK, how can I change $ signs to £'s in an annual budget template.

    Aside from the correct answer from Mr. Patrick Reagan (@PReagan), there is also the option of using keyboard shortcuts to quickly change a cell.

     

    Keyboard shortcuts Windows                   Keyboard shortcuts Mac

    $ “Dollar“           Shift + 4                                        Alt + E

     

    £ “English pound“           Alt + 0163                      Alt + Shift + 4

                  (Numeric keypad)

     

    I would be happy to know if I could help.

    Hello fjr2320gmailcom,

     

    This could be accomplished within the number formats menu.  Press Ctrl + 1 to open the number formats menu.  Go to "Currency", click the drop-down list and select "English (United Kingdom)".
