How do I get data NAV exports to Excel to be formated with parenthesisin place of a negative sign?

All of my NAV created worksheets knock the default comma style out.

  • Did you try Control Panel->Regional & Language Options->Regional Options->Customize->Edit the Negative Sign Symbol?

  • You are talking about at the Window level not NAV, am I a correct?

  • Correct! - Click the arrow on Negative Number Format & one of the choices is the ( ).

  • Can anyone confirm if this works ?  I have set it to (1.1) but still Nav displays negative values in -1.1 format.  If I change the Negative sign symbol though it is reflected.  Cannot understand why  the Negative Number format is not taken into consideration.

  • 1. Can we assume you restarted your pc after you made the change.

    2. If you're exporting from Nav are you exporting that field as a TEXT field?

    if so that might be the reason it's keeping it's format.
