Just been playing around and I may have solved the how to insert (XXX.XX)
into a cell in place of negative numbers IF you did want to see that literal
substituted for a negative number. Simply create a data format using this
String;

###.##;("XXX.XX")

The 'speach marks' are important and I guess that you will need to escape
them in the actual Java code so that the actual String becomes something
like;

###.##;(\"XXX.XX\")
