Re: Formatting negative numbers with format-number

Youre easiest solution would be to use starts-with as so:

<xsl:if test="starts-with(string($number), '-')"><xsl:value-of select="$number * 
-1"/></xsl:if>

or the same style using the substring-after method...

<xsl:if test="starts-with(string($number), '-')"><xsl:value-of select="concat('(', 
substring-after(string($number), '-'), ')')"/></xsl:if>

Either way, this should work...

Hi all...

Is it posible using format-number function that the negative numbers to be 
displayed enclosed in brackets? for example, -1234 = (1234)
