Basic question to format my results to show "+" sign when the result value is positive. My field of application is in structural analysis. Thus, when the Margin of Safety is positive, the "+" sign is preferable to show the positive margin.

Thanks.

I don't believe you can force the plus sign as a number. You can build a character string:

Thanks all. I really appreciate it. Another problem is I am new to Mathcad. Even if the apparent solutions shown, I am having difficulties making them work. Bear with me 😃
