I have several computers that do not have the formatting option under NUMBER to show the Parenthesis. If I look at the other computers they are there

I found where we can add a custom format but why would it not be there from the start

Thanks.
 
Whether this option appears is controlled by your Windows, Control Panel,
Regional Settings.

If, under Currency (not Numbers), the negative currency format uses parens,
then the option is available in Excel. This is the default in some country
settings (like the US) but not in others.
 
Thank you very much for your reply. That was it

We found that our accounting software (costpoint) changes these settings during installation.

THANKS AGAIN!
