Add "+" plus symbol for a positive percentage
Also want to keep a "-" for a negative percentage and...
want a 0% to remain 0%. Right now I am using a custom cell format of +#0#%;-#0#% This works fine if it is a positive or negative 5% (i.e. +5% or -5%), but if it is a 0% it shows +0%. For a 0% I want it to not show a '+' or a '-'. Thank you. |

I tried taking the '0' out +##%;-##%;##% and that solved the -5% however anywhere it is 0% it shows a blank. Any solution? Thank you. The problem you describe does not occur if you use the custom format I recommended: +0%;-0%;0% Also, I don't understand what you are trying to do with a #0#% type of format anyway. But the reason that ##% (or even #%) will show a blank if you have a zero value is because the # token, by design, does not display insignificant zero's. |
