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..

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,

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:
