Currency symbol other than $ is not displayed in TM1 Web when formatting is done by TEXT formula in Excel

Troubleshooting


Problem

The currency symbol that is defined through a TEXT formula is correctly rendered in Excel:
TEXT(1234,"$#,##0.00") ==> $1,234.00
TEXT(1234,"€#,##0.00") ==> €1,234.00
TEXT(1234,"£#,##0.00") ==> £1,234.00
But only the dollar $ sign is appearing in TM1 Web, whatever the regional settings and browser content language that are used for either creating the Excel file or opening TM1 web:

TEXT(1234,"$#,##0.00") ==> $1,234.00
TEXT(1234,"€#,##0.00") ==> 1,234.00
TEXT(1234,"£#,##0.00") ==> 1,234.00

Resolving The Problem

In Excel, in the TEXT formula, for currencies other than dollar $, use these custom formats instead:

TEXT(1234,"[$€]#,##0.00")
TEXT(1234,"[$£]#,##0.00")
TM1 Web will then show the correct symbol.
