Display negative numbers by using parentheses

With Excel when you use a custom number format of #,##0.00 and you enter (10) into the cell it will be displayed as -10.  With the Spreadsheet control the same example yields (10).  How can we get the same behavior as Excel with the Spreadsheet control?

Thanks,

Ron

Hi Ron,

Thank you for the feedback. This is currently not supported. I converted this ticket to a feature request so that we can have this in mind for possible feature improvement.  

Excel does that by using a very concrete translation that is documented here:  https://support.office.com/en-us/article/change-the-way-negative-numbers-are-displayed-104b47a6-8ae2-471f-8f73-c4b96e7bb146. 

Currently, in Kendo Spreadsheet only a minus sign can be used.

Regards,
Ianko
