    displaying a minus sign

    Hi guys - hope all are well.

    Think i may be being a bit thick here but,,, i need to display a percentage gap.

    Sometimes the resulting calculation value displays as -1.2% for example, in which case i would then have to reverse the numerator and denominator.

    is there another way to avoid the minus? as i only want the difference and not the minus sign?

    Thanks alot for any help.
