Default I would like a cell to show a + or - sign before number.

When showing numbers in a cell I would like positive numbers to be preceeded
with a + sign. I would like negative numbers to be preceeded by a - sign. How
can I format to do this automatically?

+#,###;-#,###;

The last semi-colon eliminates the + sign from 0's

Hello. Right click/format cells/Number/Custom/+#,##0.00;[Red]-#,##0.00
I used one of the existing options and just added the + sign
You can choose or create the one that fits you best
