The PERCENTNw.d format multiplies negative values by 100, formats them the
same as the BESTw.d
format, adds a minus sign to the beginning of the value, and adds a percent
sign (%) to the end of the formatted value.
The PERCENTNw.d format produces percents by using a minus sign instead of
parentheses for negative values. The PERCENTw.d format produces percents by using parentheses for negative
values.
