IFS formula not recognizing dollar sign

IFS formula is not recognising $.


I use the IFS formula all the time, but for some reason I am either doing something wrong or the IFS formula doesn’t work with $ symbol?


The screen shot below shows the same formula in both rows, one row does exactly what it should, the other shows an error. What am I missing?

The value in the $50.00 cell is treated as the number 50, with the dollar sign part of the formatting, instead of text. Replace the values in the last two tests with 50 and 100.
