I have a sheet which has the same formula in a row of cells. I have them all se t to currency formatting, however only some of the cells are displayed as currency. I tried to copy formats to the cells not displaying proper, but nothing changes. I checked the format and I noticed that all the specific formats are not displaying proper for those cells - they are all just a plain number (depicted as a zero in the dropdown). The two images below show the difference for the cells. Both are set to currency. Anyone know how to fix this?

Excel Facts

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Could it be that for some reason those are not real numbers but text looking like numbers? To check remove manual alignment from the column ( they are manually centered). If content of cells is left-aligned they are text, even when formatted as currency ( formatting does not affect the underlying value).
If so, select those cells, Data-Text to columns- Finish. If they are now right-aligned you are ok. If not some further investigation is required

Thanks - I just found that a little while ago and see you noticed it as well. The quotes there are the issue because that formula has an IFERROR that would result in that zero if a match can't be found.
For info the entire formula (corrected) is:
=IF(E4<>"",IFERROR(IF(AND($B$6=2,MATCH(E4,'West Coast'!$D$1:$R$1,0)>8),2*@INDEX(Canal,MATCH(@INDEX(Ships,$B$5,1),Ship,0),0),0),0),"-")
