How to show -0 as 0?
 
Due to the binary/decimal thing, some of my financial figures come out to -0
at that level of rounding. I am using an external provider's plug-in to
calculate the figure from an external database, so I can't use the round
function to give me 0.

Is there any way of displaying -0 as 0, but other negative values as (100),
for example?

Just a thought, but could you not check if the cell value is below 0,
and if it is, multiply it by -1?
