    \$\begingroup\$ @theREALyumdub is that supposed to be a good thing? I'm not sure I'd take this salary if it means I have to work with Excel on the daily ;) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I'd argue with Excel's accounting formatting, that you can skip the $ entirely, and simply set the formatting to accounting. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Selkie Accounting format adds a comma, which is disallowed. You could use a custom format of $# though. I wouldn't be sure if I should count this as 15 characters with =CODE("*")^PI() for $125773, or 17 characters (adding 2 for the the format letters) with =CODE(")")^PI() for $116603, or if this is disallowed. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 30, 2018 at 13:01
