(zero) can this be done?

That's great, when I format the whole column, it takes away the currency
format Β£123.123 for those that are not negative numbers - is there a way to
stop that?

Try this format code:
[$Β£-809]# ##0.000,"0"
You can modify the first part (before the comma) as you like, "0" is the one
that supresses negative values.
