Greetings,

I am using LibreOffice 5.3.4.2 on Slackware Linux 14.2 (K4.4.75).

I have a database with a text field which may or may not be null. What I
want to do is to prefix a dash "-" before the text if the text field is
not null. At first, I tried this format:

;;;"-"@

Somewhere, not by me, it got changed to:

[>0]"";[<0]"";"";"-"@

However, this does not work. I get the text when not null, but not the
dash in either case.


If I format a cell like your first example and enter a letter in that cell,
let's say ”k”, I get:
-k

If I enter a number, the cell remains blank. Is this the behaviour you are
looking for?

The format string doesn't change if I don't change it.

If I set it to [>0]"";[<0]"";"";"-"@ I get the same result, and I should
since the two means exactly the same thing.

Can you give an example that doesn't work?



Kind regards

Johnny Rosenberg




Is there another way to do this?

Thanks.

Girvin Herr
