How to "Offset" Attribute with Formula Field?

I am trying to create a field formula within a block that displays (Z Coordinate-x'x") but I can not get it to display when the units are set to Architectural.

 

This is the left side block in the drawing:

The Left block is just set to display the "Z" coordinate of the block, which it is doing correctly at 18', using this field:

Now the right side block in the first picture is my attempt at trying to get the tag to display that same "Z" coordinate minus 18'. So I copied the field expression displayed in the second photo, and copied it into the formula and subtracted 18'.

 

Which you can see here:

When the block is viewed in the model space the resulting display should be: (0'-0"), but as you guys can see in the first picture, its just displaying the default preview for the formula field: "####"

 

It should be noted that if I use "Decimal" units, the formula works fine, but unfortunately I need it to work in feet and inches.

 

Any help would be appreciated, and the dwg file is attached if you'd like to take a look.

 

Thank you,

Tim J.
