NumberFormat = [#,###,0;(#,###,0)], ExcelNumberFormat = [#,###,0;(#,###,0)]

 

aricgresko  is correct.  It looks like this.  

Hope this helps.

Hi Mike

    Here is one I'm using in the application I'm working on now.  This one has a hyphen for zeroes which you can remove if you don't want that.

    NumberFormat = [#,###,0;(#,###,0);"-"], ExcelNumberFormat = [#,##0;(#,##0);" - "], ReportNoDataNumberFormat = [" - "], ReportNumericBindingFormat = [{0:#,##0;(#,##0);" - "}]
     
    That will cover Data Explorer, Excel, and Report (PDF) views.

        Do you have it on the Cell Format on the main Cube View properties tab?  The order of operations for what Cell Format wins is 1) Cube View Properties, 2) Column Cell Format, 3) Row Cell Format, 4) Column - Row Overrides, 5) Row - Column Overrides.  Do you have other Cell Formatting anywhere else in the CV?  That syntax works.
