Currency unvoluntary change

Copper Contributor

Hi all,

We are constantly facing the following issue on Excel - Office 365 (Windows - Desktop).

 

- In the file, there are cells with Euro currency format (€)

- Another users enters de file, but sees the same cells as dollars ($)

- Later on, the first user also sees dollars.

 

What could be the problem? 

Thanks.

It depends on Windows regional settings on each of computer

@Manu_Lanuza 

In addition, you may format Ctrl+1 -> currency, select from here. When it'll be

[$$-en-US]#,##0.00

or

[$£-en-GB]#,##0.00

 

with such prefix currency shall not change

 

@Sergei Baklan I'm afraid it's not the case for us.
I've checked following these steps and confirmed that all the users have € as predefined currency.

 

 

 

 

I'll try and let you know.
Thanks for your time!

@Sergei Baklan , This is what I have in the format:

If I select the personalized option, I can see this:

If I move to a cell, where the automatic-unvoluntary change occured, the format is set to:

That's since you select default currency, that's the same as assign it from the ribbon. Let me illustrate. My default currency is pound, I may select it as

or as

In second case format is country specific:

Thanks! Now I understood.

I've just set it as you explained. 

I'll do a couple of tests with the rest of the users and come back to the forum.

Regards.
