Default Convert currency to general

Then I guess you will have use the multiply by 100 trick before formatting
to no decimals.

The bank wants the amount in a fixed length field.

so:
1 = 1Cent
11 = 11 cents
111 = one dollar eleven cents
1111 = eleven dollars eleven cents

So, if I start with a whole alunt like $250.00
and I strip off the decimals leaving 250
The bank will now interpret that as two dollars and fifty cents,

Format to general to remove the currency sign.

Second part I don't understand........remove the , and . but retain the
decimal places.

If you delete the . there are no decimal places.

Try this...........................

Enter 100 in an empty cell.

Copy that cell.

Select the range to change and Paste SpecialMultiplyOKEsc.

Returns 148067

Hi,

I was wondering is there any way to convert currency to a general format (or
text).
I need to export information from my AP application to my bank. However,
the query comes out of the AP application as a currency field, and the bank
wants it as text.

1e.
$1,480.67 needs to have the $ , and . stripped out (while retaining the
decimal places) so the bank receives it as 148067

Any help is appreciated.
