    Textbox negative values not showing correctly

    The ROI($) value is the SALE - INVESTMENT.
    The ROI(%) value is the (SALE-INVESTMENT)/SALES

    If the values are negative they are red and in brackets, but both still show the Minus sign, and the ROI (%) has a leading "Hashmark".

    Re: Textbox negative values not showing correctly

    You can specify a format for positive and negative:

    "#,##0.00%;(#,##0.00%)"

    the \ in your format string was the reason for you getting a hash mark.
    Everyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.

    Fluff13,

    Genuinely stumped on this, because the attachment was "unlocked", so no idea how it had a password when you opened it?

    Can you try and open it again?

    The VBA project is definitely password protected.
    Although that may now be irrelevant, as you got some solutions.

    Re: Textbox negative values not showing correctly

    shg,

    Appreciate the prompt response, but ".forecolor" throws a Compile error "invalid or unqualified reference"?

    Having remembered that "RGB" returns a Long, so tried declaring "forecolor" as Long, but that generated the message that "Member already exists in an Object Module from which this Object Module derives"

    Never come across before?

    Compiles fine here. You sure you copied the code correctly?

    Fluff,

    Apologies, but when I attached the file at 09:37 I must have used the "Protected" version . When I amended the entry three minutes later, I attached the "unlocked" version, which the others obviously found when they clicked on to the question.

    Gentlemen,

    Turning into "One step forward, Two back".

    Tried the approaches on the "Stage 2" document which has an extra element.
    Losses appear correctly in brackets with red font, but ROI is not working, as explained on the front sheet of the attached.
    Can't see where the logic is falling over, but confident someone will.

    You need to be very careful when adding strings. Use val to convert the textboxes to actual number values:
