To whom it may concern,

I have this issue with one of my VBA files and I just can't figure it
out. I have this search and replace macro that does a good job but I
can't figure out why it places a negative (-) sign on values without
a space after the parentheses. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Sub Discus_Fix()

' Discus_Fix Macro
' Replaces redundant information on Discus AS9102 Report

Cells.Replace What:="note: ", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False,
_ ReplaceFormat:=False


End Sub

Your data cells contain text, but are not formatted as 'Text'. Thus,
Excel is evaluating (.140) as a number where the parenthesis indicate a
negative value. Thus, your data alignment is changed to numeric and
displays in your default format for a negative value.
