New Post: PHPExcel Excel2007 can not handle currency format correctly

MarkBaker,

Thanks for your response.
I wrote a test PHP script to test curreny fornat for Excel5 and Excel2007. And I create TestExcel 5.xls and TestExcel2007.xlsx for test.
In each Exel file, I sent CELL 'I5' with currency format. I tested with all currency foramt: -1234, 1234 with red color, (1234), and (1234) woth red color.
The results tell me for Excel5, all returned formatcode are correct. For Excel2007, if format is -1234 or 1234 with red color, return correct format code. But, if set as
(1234) or (1234) woth red color, it returns "General".
Becasue I can not attahced the excel files,I copy part of the out put in the bottom. Please notes that first section of the out put is the test result for Ecel5, second is for Excel2007.
