Description bluegreenbrown 2005-04-02 05:41:53 UTC 
If a field is formatted with Category=Number, Format=General, Language=Default
I can enter a negative number as: 300- and it becomes -300 in the cell.  Jolly good.

But, if a field is formatted as 
#,##0.00;[RED]-#,##0.00
and I enter 300- the cell becomes 300.00 instead of -300.00

This problem does not happen if I enter something like 1,000-

Hi Eike,

if it works for default nuimberformat, we should do so for userdefined and other
formats too.

It's more an error that it works for the General format and that for formats
that include a negative part the absolute value is taken. The result should be
of type string instead.
