If you have some cells in one format (Number or General), and some cells in
another format (Percentage), you'll have to give your + specification to
each of the groups of cells separately.

Actually Neither of these formula's worked.

1 cell is a # i.e. (1.111)
1 cell is a % i.e. (1.111%)

Both have 3 decimal places, i just happened to hit it where all of the #'s
were of the same value. (bad luck) I would like to see +1.111 or -1.111 &
accordingly either +1.111% or -1.111%.

So i need to re-ask the question and hopefully tailor my question better.

How can I have a + sign show up when the value is positive. When the
value
is negative, this works - it automatically shows the "-" sign at the
beginning of the value.

I figure there has to be a rather simple way to show a + if the value is
positve just like it automatically shows a - if the value is negative.

I hope this helps explain better what I am looking for...

Thanks Again,
Emil

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
