Auto negative entry
How do I format a cell to automatically add brackets to the number entry to
show it is being subtracted by a formula that is elsewhere. Or, how do I make the entry automatically negative (will adjust formula to keep from subtracting a negative.) Thanks Darrell |

Auto negative entry
To just show a number as (1234) in red you can Custom format to
[Red] (#,##0.00) The number will not be negative however. To get truly negative numbers as you type them in you would need event code.
