The other issue does not relate to standard accountancy practice. It relates to
currency symbols and a button not working properly. There is a difference
between 'accounting' and professional accountancy practice used by various
professionals. Currency numbers are not accountancy numbers. The currency
symbol is typed a column or row and the number formatting of the data is as
above without currency symbols and negative numbers in brackets and 0s as -.
For those who don't know how to create their own formatting, the software would
be unusable.
Another point is single and double underline. For accountancy purposes the
underlines have to cover the whole cell not just the text within the cell.
Formatting borders function is not appropriate to use for this purpose as these
symbols are typed on a regular basis. There should be a drop down box with
standard accountancy underline combinations - single top and double bottom,
single top and single bottom, single top, single bottom, double bottom, thick
bottom. Excel recognises that this is vital ( but they don't recognise
accountancy number format) The borders function is used for special formatting
only not to create standard underline formats.
Accountants and bookkeepers are frustrated with this. It appears to them that
spreadsheet software has alot of fancy functions but doesn't pay attention to a
few of the key fundamentals underpinning what they are about.
