Is there a way to determine if a cell has a US currency set?

If the value is on cell A1, you can check if the dollar sign is on the first position with this:

=IF(LEFT(A1,1)="$","True","False")

Thanx, and it perfect if I needed a button, but what I need is within the Excel in report format.  I created an Excel with jppinto initial formula...

Hope this helps

Worked.

Just to make sure, there is no Excel function that does this right (we have to create the function)?
