    one use of PMT results in ($123.45) and using same formula diff numbers I get -$123.45

    Cheers to a New Year!

    As stated above, in one of my formulas using PMT I get the result in red like so: ($123.45) and when I use the PMT in another section I get: -$123.45. Any Ideas what it could be?

    Best Regards

    John Paul

    Hello johnpaulluna. Welcome to the forum.

    This sounds like a format ... Accounting or Custom ... is applied to those cells .

    Tried changing to either, now I have black text instead of red.Screen Shot 2019-01-03 at 6.48.36 PM.png

    OK.

    Which format do you prefer? Try applying that format directly or use Format Painter after you've applied it to one of the ranges.

    Good point. I went to 'Number Format' then 'More Number Formats' and found 'Currency' with the option to select red with negative numbers. Thank you for the suggestion!
