Greetings all.
I need to add a $ symbol on columns that represent a financial value. There a monetary format in excel, but I would like to automate this step. Is it possible?
I could easily add a string using formula tool, but that would make my output cell into a string and thus it wouldn't be able to sum values.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

We can use the "Preserve Formatting on Override" option by presetting the column format to be "Currency" in Excel.
@binuacs NIce one. Learned something new.
Hi!
I am using render tool so I can't use any output to excel. Is there any workaround?
Thanks Binu.
May I ask how to make excel understand that the outputed cell with $ is a currency so it can be summed? Today if I use this approach, it will be read as string, thus not be able to sum values.
@Joker_Hazard the $ will be treating as currency format the underlying values will be numbers. You can sum these amounts in excel .
Awesome. It did work!! Thanks Binu!
