Excel 365 reads a dollar sign before accounting parentheses ($(1,234), $ (5)) and a percent sign after them ((5)%) as negative numbers when the text is typed, coerced by arithmetic or passed to VALUE. GridCraft gave #VALUE! for these. The parentheses branch no longer recurses: Excel reads only an unsigned plain number or fraction inside, so (-5), ((5)), ($-5), and dates or times in parentheses are now #VALUE! as in Excel (they used to give 5 or a negative serial). $5% is #VALUE! too: Excel never combines the currency and percent signs.
