Actually your problem is completely different :-) The OP is referring to
the number symbol (#), not the Pounds Sterling currency symbol (£).
The first thing to check, of course, is your settings in Format> Cells -
Currency & adjust as necessary.
If that's not the problem Quit Excel, then go to System Preferences>
International & change the Number format on the Formats page.
If that doesn't resolve it post a new message including your OS & Office
versions as stated here but also indicate Language of your copy, how
you're
formatting the cells, etc. Keep in mind that if you're pasting data from
another source or if the file was obtained from someone else it could be
influencing the situation. Be as exact as you can with your details.
