Hello,

I have Mathcad Prime 4.0 and would like to work with a dollar sign versus the little square symbol (see below). It seems possible in earlier versions of Mathcad but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Adrian

Maybe the attached helps?

Define $=square and make $ a unit should do it.

Yes, it does the job, but its a shame that its necessary to do so!

I'm doing something wrong. I can define a unit, but Mathcad's not taking the $. Is there another symbol for dollars (versus the keyboard) I should be using?

Hello,

Thanks for everyone's help!

But is there a way to get a "$" as an output of a calculation versus the square as below? I attached the file for reference.

Thanks,

Adrian

MathCad defaults to certain units; the square must be one. If you change the unit to "$" in your result, the "$" unit should remain if you change the values of "a" or "b".

One more question.

I've changed the output unit to the '$', but my matrix keeps the 'square'. Is it possible to format an element in a matrix so that it returns a '$' (see below)?
