[mso] Re: Excel Question - Please help

Select the cell which shows the - and go to Format Cells...click on the
Number tab...you will probably see it is using the Accounting format, which
is the one that shows zeroes as hyphens. Change it to general or currency or
number or whatever you want and the zero will show. 

And please trim your posts. Thanks.

Do you know why when I plug a zero in a cell with no formula, a dash "-"
shows instead of a zero?  Do you know how to correct that?  Wird thing is it
happens in some cells but not others.  Thanks much!!
