how to insert a + sign permanently??

[cnote]

Can anyone tell me how you insert a "+" sign in a cell that contains
formula, and make it permanently stay in the cell with the answer? Fo
example, I would like for my cell once the formula is completed and th
answer is returned in the cell to read "+60" or "-60". I can't find an
options for this, and I can't figure out how to write a macro/vba t
make it do this. Can anyone help??

I suppose you could do it like this:

=IF(SUM(A1,B1)>0,"+"&SUM(A1,B1),SUM(A1,B1))

but you will need to format the cells to right-justify the alignment.

You can do it by creating a custom format (Format menu, Cells, Number tab, go
to Custom (last item) on the list and in the box that says "type" put this:
+#0;-#0;0
