Give this workaround a try?
- Create an empty column to the right of your dollar values (e.g. Your $ value is in L3, to the empty column should be M). Note you can hide this column later.
- In the M cell (e.g. M3), type in the following formula =TEXT(L3,"#,##0.00").

I've attached the sample file I have made on your scenario (and sample image below).

See if that helps?
