<p class="Paragraph">Currency formats can be set independently of the language/country. The format code is constructed according to the [$xxx-nnn] pattern. For Germany and the Euro, therefore, [$Γé¼-407] is set. The number is an internal program country code which does not necessarily have to be entered, however, if you wish to define your own format. Special banking symbols, for example EUR, are always coded without the country code.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">A special situation arises if for a language in your operating system several currency formats have been defined. The currency formats displayed in the list box are then the result of a combination of the settings in the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Language</span> field and the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Format</span> field.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Use the thousands separator to format convenient currency formats according to the 00 TΓé¼ pattern. If, for example, you want to generate all entries in the format "thousand Euro with one decimal point", enter the format code as 0,0. [TΓé¼]. If you then enter the number 1234 in a cell formatted in this way it takes the format you want, namely 1,124 TΓé¼.</p>
