Excel formatting

Hi! In the template Excel sheet I formatted the 2 nd row to display the dollar sign and made it into a hidden row. But the output file does not show the dollar sign. Any suggestions to rectify this. I tried to create an empty table as suggested on Excel connection but that scenario did not work, Another route that I tried was through the script task wb.Worksheets("Test").Columns("D:D").NumberFormat = "$#,##0.00" This is not displaying the dollar sign -- Any suggestions on what I am missing? Thanks
