2 Quick Tricks to Add Dollar Sign in Google Sheets Formula

First, let’s get introduced to our dataset. Here we have some products in Column B, their price in Column C, and their quantity in Column D. We have got the total price of the products in Column E by multiplying Column C and Column D. Here the quantity is identical for every product, which is 20. So when we multiply and then apply the Fill Handle tool Google Sheets automatically calculate the adjacent cells. But the values in the cells are empty.  So it gives us 0 in Column E. We can fix this problem by fixing Cell D5, which is called absolute cell referencing. We’ll do the process by 2 quick methods.

• Then go to Format > Number > Custom Currency.
