Re: POI cell formating

This should make it use parenthesis:

TempStr = new_String('(#,##0.00_);(#,##0.00)');


If you want it in red as well, you might try this:

TempStr = new_String('(#,##0.00_);[Red](#,##0.00)');

For more options, take a look at the JavaDocs for HSSFDataFormat:

NumFmt = HSSFDataFormat_getFormat(DataFmt: TempStr);

HSSFCellStyle_setDataFormat(Numeric$: NumFmt);


HSSFCellStyle_setAlignment(Numeric$: ALIGN_RIGHT);



I have the above code in a RPGLE program and when I write a negative number to the cell I get a -123.00 in front of the number.

What can I change to have a negative number written as (123.00).

I need the cell to know that it is negative for formulas.
