How are you converting it to currency? By formatting the cell?

If the cell is originally text, you need to change the format first, then
enter your data.

Regards,
Fred

Give us specifics. You type a number into a cell. What number? What cell?
Exactly what do you do to "convert it to currency"? Be specific. I click
here. I click there, etc, etc, etc. Otto
