Remarks
The USDollar method converts a number to text using currency format, with the decimals rounded to the specified place. The format used is $#,##0.00_);($#,##0.00).
The major difference between formatting a cell that contains a number with the Format Cells command and formatting a number directly with the DOLLAR method is that DOLLAR converts its result to text. A number formatted with the Format Cells command is still a number. You can continue to use numbers formatted with DOLLAR in formulas, because Excel converts numbers entered as text values to numbers when it calculates.
Example
The following example displays the first number in a currency format, two digits to the right of the decimal point ($1,234.57).
=DOLLAR(A2, 2)
