Can someone explain this to me? Maybe I'm supposed to know...but forgot.?? I've duplicated it with the car file. I want negative values to have ()brackets. If you will copy and run the fex below - you will see that you get brackets in the detail and the subtotal...uncomment the line and run it in Excel and you get brackets in the detail but -dash in the subtotal for negatives.  TABLE FILE CAR SUM DEALER_COST/D7B BY SEATS SUBTOTAL ACROSS CAR COMPUTE TOT/D7B = (C1 + C3 + C5 + C7 + C9 + C11)/6; AS Average COMPUTE CW/D14B = TOT - DEALER_COST; AS 'LW - AVG' -*ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON ON TABLE SET STYLE * UNITS=IN, SQUEEZE=ON, GRID=ON, ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,$ TYPE=DATA,BACKCOLOR='LIME',FIELD=TOT,$ TYPE=DATA,BACKCOLOR='YELLOW',FIELD=CW,$ TYPE=SUBTOTAL,BACKCOLOR='SILVER',$ TYPE=TITLE, BACKCOLOR='SILVER',$ ENDSTYLE END

Hmm, the background styling isn't applied for that subtotal cell either when in EXL2K. Me thinks that it has that unmistakable whiff of being a bug. I'd report it as such. However, having said that, if you change the format of the column CW to the same as that for Dealer Cost (and vice versa) you get the braces around the value. Might be that both fields would have the same styling class and therefore have less chance of being broken by the time Eggshell gets its hands on the data stream. T

I opened a case yesterday. I've tried the fields all the way down the chain the same size...I've made hold files...I've stood on my head...I've danced on one foot...

Interesting coding method ..... I made the following changes to your code and ran it in Eggshell and got the results that you wanted e.g. with braces surrounding the negative values - even in the subtotal. TABLE FILE CAR SUM DEALER_COST/D14B BY SEATS SUBTOTAL ACROSS CAR COMPUTE TOT/D14B = (C1 + C3 + C5 + C7 + C9 + C11)/6; AS Average COMPUTE CW/D14B = TOT - DEALER_COST; AS 'LW - AVG' ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON ON TABLE SET STYLE * UNITS=IN, SQUEEZE=ON, GRID=ON, ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,$ TYPE=DATA,BACKCOLOR='LIME',FIELD=TOT,$ TYPE=DATA,BACKCOLOR='YELLOW',FIELD=CW,$ TYPE=SUBTOTAL,BACKCOLOR='SILVER',$ TYPE=TITLE, BACKCOLOR='SILVER',$ ENDSTYLE END T

Oh Tony...big Hug to You!  Of course my original report is much more complicated then this...but yes...one little field had a different length...Changed it and it works!I guess all the blood had rushed to my head while I stood on it. I owe you several beers!
