Deleting a $ sign in Excel

How do I delete a $ sign next to a number in Excel. Seems the $ sign is
embedded in the cell even if I back space.

It sounds like the cells are formatted as Currency.

Try this:

Select the cells to be impacted.
From the Excel main menu:
<format><cells><number tab>
Category: Select "General" or "Number"
Click the [OK] button

Does that help?

Weird, it seems like the cell was custom formatted but then again the
dollar sign didnt disappear after you deleted the value inside. Try
looking at the custom formatting options if it was formatted weirdly?
