WorksheetFunction.Dollar method (Excel)

The function described in this Help topic converts a number to text format and applies a currency symbol. The name of the function (and the symbol that it applies) depends upon your language settings.

Syntax

expression.Dollar (Arg1, Arg2)

expression A variable that represents a WorksheetFunction object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
Arg1	Required	Double	Number - a number, a reference to a cell containing a number, or a formula that evaluates to a number.
Arg2	Optional	Variant	Decimals - the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. If decimals is negative, number is rounded to the left of the decimal point. If you omit decimals, it is assumed to be 2.

Return value

String

Remarks

The major difference between formatting a cell that contains a number with the Cells command (Format menu) and formatting a number directly with the Dollar function is that Dollar converts its result to text. A number formatted with the Cells command is still a number. You can continue to use numbers formatted with Dollar in formulas because Microsoft Excel converts numbers entered as text values to numbers when it calculates.
