    My Custom Formatted Cell does not display negative numbers

    I have a custom formatted cell that looks like this: #,##0.0,,;;"-" However, when a value in that cell is negative, the cell is just left blank. I want the custom format to display negative values. I am on Excel 2010.

    It should have been

    #,##0.0;-#,##0.0;;"-"

    I left a couple of commas in thereby mistake.
