Is there an option to choose whether negative values are bracketed or have '-' prefix?

Mike Westley

How, in Web or Desktop, can we as developers choose how to display negative values?

I've found that in a DataView layout using an entity in Axis 'By Column', the negative values appear in BRACKETS.

Elsewhere, where a DataView layout is using an entity in Axis 'By Row', the negative values appear with '-' prefix.

It would be nice to be consistent, and have the option to display them the same way 10.5??

The attached example - (brackets) and '-' appears in both Desktop and Web displays.

Hi Mike Westley,

in the format of a block layout there's an option:

I take it all back (I think) - the reason I thought that the settings were the same for both DataViews, was because the ( ) on the Format tab, you have to click on the Value before it will indicate the current setting for the tick box.. doh, silly me.

Thanks for the response, I may otherwise have wrongly thought it was a programming issue.

Cheers
