Today a question from someone who frequently uses three currency styles in Excel: USD, EGP, and SAR. Excel makes it easy to choose USD, GBP, EUR, CHF but if your currency is not in that drop-down, then you are scrolling through an insanely long list.<\/p>\n

It seems that there is no good way to change the five currencies in the drop-down on the Excel home tab.<\/p>\n

Instead, I propose a scheme where you can add SAR or EGP from a button on the Quick Access Toolbar and that button will also add the currency to the Cell Styles gallery that travels with the workbook. This means that your co-workers can choose SAR or EGP without having anything in their personal macro workbook.<\/p>\n

Here is the code from the Personal Macro Workbook for SAR:
\nSub ApplySARStyle()
\n ‘ Attempt to apply SAR style
\n ‘ If it does not exist, create it.
\n Err.Clear
\n On Error Resume Next
\n Selection.Style = “SAR”
\n If Err.Number = 0 Then
\n ‘ The style already exists. Okay to exit
\n On Error GoTo 0
\n Exit Sub
\n End If
\n ‘ If you get here, SAR does not exist.
\n ‘ Format the selection and create a new style
\n ActiveWorkbook.Styles.Add Name:=”SAR”
\n With ActiveWorkbook.Styles(“SAR”)
\n .IncludeNumber = True
\n .IncludeFont = False
\n .IncludeAlignment = False
\n .IncludeBorder = False
\n .IncludePatterns = False
\n .IncludeProtection = False
\n .NumberFormat = “[$SAR] #,##0”
\n End With
\n Selection.Style = “SAR”
\nEnd Sub<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
