How to put Saudi Riyal (SAR) currency symbol in left side of currency?

2

The default currency symbol format is like this:

But I want the currency symbol to be shown on the left side.

It was #,##0.00 [$ر.س.‏-ar-SA] in custom formatting before, and I tried changing this format to [$ر.س.‏-ar-SA] #,##0.00 but it's still showing the same result.

Is there any solution for this?

The SAR currency symbol from XE.Com is . The symbol from Excel includes two dots. I don't know how to write currency in Arabic, but if you use the XE.Com symbol, you can use #,##0.00﷼ and get the result you want. I think between the dots being interpreted as a decimal, and the right-to-left font, there is an issue. But this may be all off and the dots may be serving some other purpose in the Excel number format. – Ron Rosenfeld – 2019-07-04T01:36:56.193
