Also tried using integer number (1) without any decimal and separator, and no cost is calculated.
Hey guys I managed to make it work. You need to record the cost sensors, otherwise it will stay at zero. Since I added the sensor.xxxxxx_energy_cost in my recorder, everything gets calculated

Same here, did work but stopped working since a few days. Both Gas and Energy.
Also tried changing to 2 decimals.
First calculation was incorrect and next days costs remain 0
(2021-10-09)
1 m3 = €0,82 in my case so this should be €2,173
Still no solution?
I had the same problem.
It started to happen after one of the updates…
I noticed these errors in the log:

So I went to “Developer Tools → Statistics” and noticed there is a “FIX ISSUE” next to these entities.
fixed the issue and now it’s working

Fixed in 2021.10 - developer tools + statistics. You can see which ones need to be fixed. Pressed this and the next day it’s working again.

I have not set a sensor for the cost, so nothing to be fixed. What should I do in this case?
In configurations → energy, then set the rate there. You need this for it to calculate.
Same problem, not working with static price.

I have the same problem only for the gas sensor (I’m using the Hildebrand Glow (DCC) and my gas sensor is in kWh). I tried to put a fixed price and an input_number with my gas rate but no luck. I can’t understand why the electric one is working with the same settings.
Is any news for gas sensor?
Sure, I did since the initial config, but It doesn’t work. And I am nor the only one
Same issue here, no errors.
Both using a manual value or a sensor which exposes the data below, the cost is always 0€.

(current state: 0.30362).
Same problem here.
Work with the static price.
As soon as I create a helper and update it with the same price it doesn’t work
I have tried all suggestions (e.g. EUR/Kwh, less digits, $/Kwh) but nothing works for me
when use it at the energy tab I get the following
I can’t figure out how comes this threat has been solved?
I solved it by creating a template sensor for each energy consumption entity. It’s time consuming but I assume it’s necessary to make it work. I basically have a sensor of a sensor of a sensor now…
Here’s my current (now working) config:
Get power consumption via Rest sensor
sensor:
- platform: rest
resource: http://[local_ip_of_my_switch/report
value_template: "{{ value_json.power }}"
name: "Power Consumption [device]"
unit_of_measurement: W
device_class: power
Use the Riemann sum integral to calculate energy consumption from power consumption
sensor:
- platform: integration
source: sensor.power_consumption_[device]
name: "Riemann Energy Consumption [device]"
unit_prefix: k
round: 4
The sensor which is than added to the energy dashboard
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
energy_consumption_[device]:
friendly_name: "[device]"
unique_id: energy_consumption_[device]
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.riemann_energy_consumption_[device]') | float }}"
and finally the customization for the sensors added to the energy dashboard
homeassistant:
customize_glob:
sensor.energy_consumption_*:
unit_of_measurement: kWh
device_class: energy
state_class: total_increasing
Hope this solves it for some of you 
(To make this work you obviously have to have a tariff entity set up with a numeric value and {currency}/kWh as unit of measurement or set a static value)

Hey guys,
I am struggling with the energy dashboard as well. It’s calculating my produced solar energy and gives me the revenue for that based on the same sensor as the consumption cost, yet I don’t get any calculation on consumption.
I’ll post the sensors I am using:

Yet I still don’t get any cost calculations in the energy dashboard. Do you have any ideas where to start or what might be wrong?
Thanks!

Just so everyone understands: if you use a static cost, a hidden sensor cost entity will be created. This entity will share the same entity_id as your energy sensor but will end with _cost. This entity must be recording to your database. If you’re filtering recorder, ensure this entity is included. Otherwise the cost will always be 0
Another thing that I just found out, check your customize and customize_glob entries if you still have issues. I had sensor.energy_delivered_* overwrite that was setting resets and device_class for them and the cost sensor that is automatically added as mentioned above was falling into the same glob. This caused my costs to be 0 all the time.
Hi petro,
Can you give me a tip, how to filtering recorder to include this entity (in a HA container)? My static costs are always 0.00.
And maybe you could suggest why I have 6 Tiers, which one should I use, these are all so different, I have only on tarif for day and night €0.21 per kWh.
You have to be recording history for all entities involved in the calculations, otherwise the results will be zero.
