Let me see if I can wrap my head around posting that format to a formula cell. Maybe it's just me. I read that as being used in a numeric cell, and I am creating a formula cell.

My cell contains for example
SS_FORMULA(ROW: 2: CFORMULA: COMMTOTAL).
Where CFORMULA is "(A2-A3)".
And COMMTOTAL is a predefined cell style.
A2 and A3 are numeric cells and I just need the difference positive or negative.

I do have a sample of using data format to add a % to some cells, let me add yours to my cell see what happens. Red would be enough for them I think.

Subject: Re: hssf poi conditional formatting.

I have a sheet with calculations. If the value is negative make it red
and bold. Sounds easy I thought.

I've done plenty of wheel inventing, but I haven't ventured into straight on conditional formatting. You can get red when negative formatting with a edit word, but I don't think bold.


TempStr = new_String('#,##0_);[Red](#,##0)');

NumFmt = SSDataFormat_getFormat(DataFmt: TempStr);
