How do get bracket around negative numbers

RE: Formating

HI Angella
You can right click on a cell and choose Format cells and from the category list choose custom. In the Type box try the following 0;(0) Now positive numbers will be shown as normal but negative values will be shown in brackets.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Andrew
