    Need to add to a working if formula to show negative

    I have inherited a lot of files that have interesting formulas in them and I now need to revise a few things.

    In the attached document, you will see starting at I5 that there are sales value typed in. If the sale is cancelled, I want to be able to manually add a (-) negative sign to the amount in I5 and have Excel add the same to the other columns in that row.

    Can it be done:

    Thanks for your help!

    How do we understand if a particular sale is cancelled? In which column is it indicated in the worksheet? If there is one such column, then an IF condition can be written as

    Say, col R contains such details, then in another adjacent column use,

    That is certainly an option, but it didn't work.

    I wanted the actual sale (I5) to become a negative.

    I put a cancelled column with a x, replaced the cancelled text in the formula with x and it returns a positive 1000 in the cell the formula is in; not I5 with a negative as we hoped!
