Hi,

A tricky excel question...

How can I format -ve numbers so that the -ve sign is at the top-left of
the number and not in middle-left.

I need it this way as I've just taught my class [1] this way and I don't
want to confuse them.

[1] I'm a maths teacher

In my bad old EDIFACT days, negatives where notated thus: 999999999-

BTW. I cannot grasp what you mean. Perhaps some English lessons might be
in order.

Under the Skills for Life strategy, you can join a level 1 or 2 adult
literacy class FOC. Are you sure you need it Prawn?
