Reformatting Numbers

Deano478

Hi all,

 

This might be a simple one I just cab't see a way to accomplish this essentially I have a column of numbers like so:

 

231.07
-190.77
415.23
368.63
-2917.26
-279.04
-460.4
-2131.51

 

I need to format the Negative Numbers like so (190.77) I'm probably missing something very simple here. 

 

Cheers in advance for any assistance

Hi @Deano478 

 

If you mean that you want all numbers being shown as positive numbers, you can use the abs function:

ABS([Field1])
