This is a "feature" of Excel and Co. but in principle you can deal with
normal number w/o units and use the column header to put a unit on. If you
really had to process many different currencies together in a single
spreadsheet you could also carry a separate unit colum and have a separate
string processing for it. Do Excel spreadsheets allow different currencies
on one sheet and do they automatically convert them into each other? I don't
believe so.
