Accounting Format Parentheses tiggy2 24.07.2006 20:49:02 I have Excel 2002 (XP) and want to display negative numbers in parentheses in ACCOUNTING FORMAT instead of with a minus sign. I know this is possible as a standard feature (I have done it before on a previous machine) and I think there was a KB patch for this flaw. Anyone know of where I might find the fix?
