    Format cell does not work for Negative Value

    Hi All,

    I have set a format cell for large numbers. However, when the numbers is in negative value, it does not work due to actual value is <0.

    Can anyone help to modify this formula?


    [>999999999] #,###.00,,, "B";[>999999]#.00,, "M";#.00, "K"

    Conditional formatting is needed.

    New rule > use a formula =A1<0

    then custom number format
    [<-999999999] -#,###.00,,, "B";[<-999999]-#.00,, "M";#.00, "K"
