Hello Sylvia
You are absolutely correct.  I had the same results that you described in
point #5 above.  What I think it was was that the entire "C" column is of
the type "Date"  When I did (in cell C11) "Right Click | Format Cells |
Numbers" the category for the C11 cell was "Date"  I changed "Date" to
"Currency" and now it displays as I THINK you want it to:  $6,074.52
