Currency Type Symbol

I am trying to come up with a solution that will change the currency value symbol depending on what the end user chooses - for example they choose USD vs EUR therefore the billing amount would be formatted as $100.00. I have looked for suggestions, as well as have tried several things myself. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I know changing the “format” of the cells is not that difficult, however we are trying to avoid having the users make any changes themselves.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

When you say the user selects the currency conversion, do you have a prompt to do that. If you you could create a local variable to do that.

Thank you for the response - yes, the user would choose the currency type in the prompt (e.g. USD, EUR) however when I have tried to create a variable that would display the proper symbol, it didn’t work. Do you know the syntax I would use? I will admit, I am a little rusty as it has been a few years since I have done a lot of report writing. Thank you so much!
