Hi Daniel,
We recently made changes to the SAM website to organize information by technology and financial structure, so instead of a single Costs page for all technologies, there is one for each. For example, for photovoltaic system costs, you can go to this page:
sam.nrel.gov/photovoltaic/pv-sub-page-3.html
Please use the navigation menu along the left side of the website to find Cost pages for the other technologies.
SAM uses the dollar sign ($) to indicate currency. It is not possible to change the currency symbol.
If you want to import cost data from an Excel spreadsheet and are using the Windows version of SAM, you could use Excel Exchange to automatically read values from the spreadsheet. You can read about SAM's Excel Exchange feature in Help: In SAM, press the F1 key or click Help, and use the table of contents to find the Excel Exchange topic under References. You could also write an LK script to exchange the data. You can find examples of both approaches here:

Best regards,
Paul.
