Hi,

can you be more specific and elaborate on what you are trying to achieve (e.g. user story)?

Other than that the replace function may come in handy:

If you want to replace the character minus with brackets in your project.. you can use VS Code, and utilize the Find and Replace function. Simply perform a Find and Replace the character "-" with "(" in all selected reports...

you can exclude any specific reports where you do not want to make the replacement..

Hi SeGra thanks for your help, I would like all negative amounts in all my reports to be put into parenthesis instead of having a minus sign in front..
