Is it possible to suppress the currency abbreviation in reports

Is it possible to suppress the 'USD x{A0}' preceding the numeric amount in reports? IN this case, x{A0} is the hex code for a non-breaking space.

I have some foreign currency accounts in a Quicken Mac file but I am not including them in my report. The report embeds USD followed by a space (actually x{A0} a non-breaking space) in the formatted Amount column. When I export as a csv file Excel is not happy with the USD and non-breaking space, i.e. it doesn't see them as numbers. I'm in the habit of using BBEdit to modify Quicken output but the introduction of the non-breaking space adds extra work when I go to delete all the 'USD x{A0}'.

I just want numbers in my report in the Amount field. Can this be done somehow?

    No, there is no formatting of amounts in reports. Perhaps this should be turned into an Idea request? I've seen a similar complaint from a Canadian user recently. Only people who use multiple currencies will run into this problem, which is likely why it doesn't come up on this forum too often.

    As a possible workaround ... can you change the "USD " currency symbol to "$" without a trailing space? Would that help?

    I can't find any setting that allows me to change the currency designator.
