I need to apply following formatting option to EXCEL Output.
I have a numeric Column which when negative should be displayed in brackets.

I am able to do it in HTML output.
The same, when i apply to EXCEL, it is not working.

I would appreciate if, some one replies with an example.

Thanks

5.2.3 on Windows:


TABLE FILE CAR
SUM COMPUTE MINSALE/D12.2B = -SALES;
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT excel_option
END

Works well for the excel_option: EXL2K, but does not work for: EXL97, and EXCEL.
You can also compute the alpha field for report, adding braces if the numeric value is negative.

Viswakanth,

Your code works on my computer as expected (negative numbers are in brackets).
On the IBI TechSupport site it is stated that it is known problem solved with Release 4.3.6 Service Pack 9.

Regards
Grzegorz
