Do you want your figures displayed as currency all correctly lined up?  (In other words formatting the cells as currency)

2. Look along the toolbar and click the Currency button - looks like this... Currency Button

That's it all done.

Tip: When you type figures into any cell in that column, there is no need to type a currency symbol.  Nor do you need to type every decimal - e.g. Type 12 and it becomes £12.00,  Type 10.2 and it becomes £10.20
