Dear Anita,
Thank you for the comment. We really appreciate your response for sharing with us.
The currency sign not appearing in Excel may be due to the values are stored as text in your spreadsheet. When values are stored as text, you need to convert those as numbers and then change the format to currency to get your desired currency format. You can follow the below instructions to learn about this technique.

First, choose the cells (D5:D12) and click the error icon following the image below.

Next, choose Convert to Number option from the list.

As the numbers are now converted as number, now press CTRL+1 to visit the Format Cells feature to add currency symbol.

From the Format Cells window, choose Currency from the left pane, select your desired currency symbol and hit OK.

As a result, you will get the currency sign added in your worksheet.

If you are still having problem with the currency symbol, then you can share your workbook with us. We will check and solve the problem.

Thanks & Regards
