Is there a way to show all values in a cell as positive, even if a negative value?

Just use a custom cell format, like "###.###.###;###.###.###;". The meaning is "postive;negative;zero", so my mask will not display zero (but show as empty cell).
Try this custom cell format...

Because that requires to use a formula, instead of leaving the cell content alone?
