Is there a way to add a format to an entire column so that it automatically includes a dollar sign and a decimal place without having to click the currency button everytime?
Hello,
Thanks for this question! If you select those two formatting options after clicking on the column header (this will select the whole column), you'd see that format automatically in every row added after this and you wouldn't need to click the formatting buttons each time.
You can find further information on this at our Help Center here.
Please let me know if you have further questions on this or if you're looking for something else!
Kind regards,

Thank you! Works perfectly
Hi, I am trying to fix PLN currency which is not available in Smartsheet.
I have found such a discussion in arichves from 2017 with an advice that it shall be typed manually.
The Question is:
Is there any way to format cell so it displays the currency & value in the way that it could be calculated & automated as numbers / values with defined currencies ?
Kind regards, Piotr
If you select those two formatting options after clicking on the column header
Which 2 formatting options???????
Hi @npiper
You can find the $ Currency Formatting and .00 Decimal Formatting in the top toolbar of your sheet. If they're not immediately visible, you may need to click "..." to see More:

@Genevieve P. I have a smartsheet where the #'s ($'s actually on a bid form) were entered via Dynamic View. We find that the source document now has all the #'s however, they are formatted as text and cannot be 'SUM'd.
Is there a way to change format from 'text' to 'currency'? I have googled and came up with nothing yet.
Hi @PeggyLang
It sounds like the $ sign was manually entered into the cell, which would translate your numbers into text values. The easiest thing to do may actually be to write a formula to strip out that "$" symbol and return values in a second column:
=VALUE(SUBSTITUTE([Dollar Values]@row, "$", ""))
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
