Default Quick formatting for negative numbers


Hi,
I am new to Excel and am amazed at its complexity!
Correct my vocabulary... but here is what I want to do.

I have a simple balance sheet summing the values of two columns: the
one negative and the other positive.
I want to format the numbers for the 'negative' column (with
parenthesis) in order that they will give me negative values.
What is the simplest "function?" I can write to quickly format all
those numbers at once?

thanks,
Mike
