how do I get the negative numbers to appear in parens instead of the
negative sign in front of it?
Use a numeric picture switch in the formula or sum field, as shown in
http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_wor...m#basic_switch.
For example, if the numbers in the table column are decimals with two
digits, the field would look like
{ =SUM(ABOVE) \#"0.00; (0.00)" }
