hmm, not quite working - with you formula it does show the + sign now; but
for the negative #'s it shows (number) without the negative sign.

I have a cell which fluctuates based on its formula between positives and
negatives. (I use Excel 2007 if that matters).

When the value is negative it always shows the "-". How can I make this
also show the "+" if the value is positive?

Thanks in Advance,
Emil
