There was a problem hiding this comment.
This expression is similar but it isn't defended with a spec so I can't tell if I could handle it too. It also appears to discard the €--we expect to have it in the formatted value.

@simonoff is this something you can review for merge? We are using it in prod and it's working out fine. |

Summary
Can formatted currencies include the currency symbol? This PR adds Roo support for calling format on a currency-formatted cell and getting a value with the currency symbol back.
Other Information
There is a simple format for US currencies and a more complex form for others. Anything that's not a US currency appears to shift the format entirely from "Currency" to "Accounting".
The accounting format appears to be multiple functions which probably need a new library to fully execute. What I do instead is look for a pattern in the first function that appears to identify the currency symbol and digital formatting.
The sample I got for applying Euro formatting is:
([$€-2]\ * #,##0.00);([$€-2]\ * (#,##0.00);([$€-2]\ * "-"??);(@_)
And I just used the first part and extracted the currency symbol and format there.
