These tutorials are fantastic! Thank you so much. Now I feel like I can start applying for jobs that require Excel Experience. I'll keep learning more and more, and by the time I'm called for an interview, I should know enough to get by.

Question: What if the amount is a negative number, say, you're calculating the profit/loss? It seems when using the Accounting format, Excel makes a negative number look like $(100.12), which looks kind of weird to me... How could we customize the format for a negative number (with the symbols like "##_0") ?? How do negative numbers usually look like in such tables?... Thank you so much in advance, Mr. MotionTraining! :)
