    Highlight the range you want to change then in the Home tab, and Number section, you will find the Currency format. Select this and change the symbol from $ to pound sign.
    If you want to change instances of text entries USD, use find / replace function (Ctrl + H), enter USD in the find field and GBP in the replace - click replace all.
