Default Aligning bracketed negative numbers with positive numbers in a table

Need to format the alignment of the last digits of bracketed negative numbers above positive numbers in a table column, so that the right hand bracket for the negative numbers sits outside the aligned numbers.
Thus:
12345
(5)
I can custom format an Excel cell to achieve this, but can I do it in a Word table?
Thanks

Yes you can. Set table cell alignment to left (not center or right).
Select the table cell(s) and set a decimal tab where you want the right
bracket to appear.
