In a spreadsheet or other financial statement, a fixed dollar sign always occupies the same column in the printout regardless of how many digits are in the value being displayed.
A floating dollar sign is normally just to the left of the first digit of each value, so it will be in different columns depending on how many digits the value has.
For example, if a value can occupy up to 10 spaces, a fixed decimal display might look like this (with "^" representing a space to make it easier to see):
$^^^^1.23
$^^^45.67
but with a floating $ sign it might look like
^^^^$1.23
^^^$45.67
