To format a selected range of cells in Excel, click on "Format" in the cell section of the top menu bar. The keyboard shortcut Ctrl - 1 will also open the Format Cells dialog box. Next, click on "Format cells" in the drop-down menu. This will bring up a box. Click on the Number tab, then choose "Currency". Choose from a large range of symbols. The $ is the symbol for US currency.
