Thanks bipinajith, Corona688 for the reply.
The code I pasted is collecting data and processing millions of records, its displaying negative zero in very few cases where result of the formula is zero. I want result to be displayed up to 2 decimal places, hence using %d is not an option as suggested. I am trying to understand suggestion by Corona, if you can please give me an example so that I can implement same in the code.
