    Dear Dave Guttman

    Thank you for your question in the Q&A forum.

    Based on the information you provided, it seems you're having trouble displaying the euro (€) symbol in some cells in Excel 2024 Professional Plus. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.

    After researching and testing in my own environment (using Excel 365), I’d like to suggest a few troubleshooting steps that may help resolve the problem:

    -Use the Currency Format with the Euro Symbol

    • Select the cell or range of cells where you want the euro symbol to appear.
    • Right-click and choose Format Cells.
    • Go to the Number tab and select Currency.
    • In the Symbol dropdown, choose € Euro.
    • Click OK.

    • Go to the Home tab on the Ribbon.
    • In the Number group, click the dropdown for Currency.
    • Select the € Euro symbol from the list.
    • Check if the symbol now appears correctly in the selected cells

    -Check Your Region Settings

    • Open the Control Panel and go to region.
    • In the Formats tab, click Additional settings....
    • Go to the Currency tab.
    • Make sure the currency symbol is set to €.
    • If not, change it and click Apply, then restart Excel.
