    Help with Custom % Number Formatting

    Hi All

    Can someone please help me explain how to convert a -40% to a (40%) using custom number formatting - I've been trying this for the last half an hour and can't get it working!

    Thanks!

    then format as Percentage

    If you want to format cell
    Use Custom, 0.00_);[Red](0%)
    If don't want it to be red use this: 0.00_);(0%)
