Excel Help - Show value in parenthesis?

edro

Lifer
Lets say Cell B1 value is: =sum(A1:A3)
Normally it will display: 4
I want B1 to display: (4)

All I want is the value that is shown, to have parenthesis around it.

I see that you can have currency and numbers with negative values, shown with "( )" around them, but these numbers are not negative or currency.

Is these some kind of formatting that can allow this?

Thank you!
 
Sure. Just go to Format Cells and choose the Custom category in the Number tab. In the edit box enter a format such as "(0)" (no quotes). That will do it.
