DIFFERENT CURRENCY FORMATS IN FORMULA

[BAZZA]

I HAVE 6 DIFFERENT CURRENCIES AND NEED TO PUT THESE CURRENCIES IN A FORMUAL
SO THAT THE AMOUNT PAID HAS ITS CORRECT CURRENCY SYMBOL. THE CURRENCIES ARE
$USD, $CAD, $AUD, $NZD, € EURO and £ GBP. IS THERE ANY WAY EXCEL WOULD ALLOW
ME TO PUT THESE CURRENCIES IN A FORMULA SO THAT THE CORRECT SYMBOL IS
ENTERED. EG IF CELL A5 SHOWED EURO AND CELL E5 HAD THE FOLLOWING FORMULA
=IF(B5=PAPER,C5*D5,0). CAN I ENTER FORMATTING FOR THIS TO SHOW RESULT € EURO
20-00 INSTEAD OF JUST 20-00
THANK YOU

Create a lookup table of currency name and how you want display it, and use

=IF(test,VLOOKUP(C5,M1:N6,2,False)&" "&TEXT(result,"#,##0.00"),0).

I have tried your formual and it works thanks very much for your help.

Could I ask you another question please.

If I had the same lookup table product coulmn 1 currency symbol column 2 and
currency text in column. is there anyway i can get coulmn 2 and 3 to appear
in sheet 1 when i enter an amount. e.g. if a product was sold for two euro
and i had to enter 2 in cell f8 is there something i could enter so that it
appears as € euro 2-00.
If you cannot help then thanks for your help on the previous.
