Negative zero, while being an odd notation, is still a number, as would
be -1, -2, -3, etc. I would be frightened if a negative number didn't
pass the IsNumeric function. You shouldn't get an error trying to
calculate with -0 (with the obvious exception of trying to divide by
it)? If you need only

Since floating point numbers are represented as a sign bit and a
positive mantissa + exponent, -0 is possible and has a different
representation to +0. Just a

Can someone explain the concept of + or - zero?
Mathematically, they just don't exist, since negative means less than 0 and
positive means greater than 0.
So 0 is neither positive nor negative: it is null, period.
In computers using a special bit for the sign, things are different.
