Hi,


You got to specify/update Numbers formatting accordingly for your needs:
e.g
Sample code:

Workbook wb = new Workbook(“Book1.xlsx”);
Worksheet sheet = wb.getWorksheets().get(0);
Style style = sheet.getCells().get(“A1”).getStyle();
style.setCustom(“0”); //It will remove the red color and parentheses with decimal places for negative numbers.
sheet.getCells().get(“A1”).setStyle(style);
System.out.println(sheet.getCells().get(“A1”).getStringValue());


See the document for your reference:

Thank you.

Hi,


Ok, sure, you may try “#,##0.00_);Red” custom number formatting for your needs:
e.g
Sample code:

Workbook wb = new Workbook(“Book1.xlsx”);
Worksheet sheet = wb.getWorksheets().get(0);
Style style = sheet.getCells().get(“A1”).getStyle();
style.setCustom("#,##0.00_);Red"); //The negative numbers would be in parenthesis with red color now.
sheet.getCells().get(“A1”).setStyle(style);

Thank you.
