Perhaps add a mutiplier to the end of yout formula. e.g
Of course being a random number there is no guarantee that any of the 20 years will be negative. And of course there may be more than one negative
A workaround to that would be to hold that random number formula on a helper row and point to the helper row for the multiplicand, and then pick pick one of the 20 years net return formulae and instead of pointing to the helper row make the mutiplicand
If non of the helper row cells are 0 this will force the chosen formula to be negative.
Strictly speaking I suppose that since you are now forcing a negative result and only randomly generating 19 numbers you should perhaps change the RANDBETWEEN to RANDBETWEEN(1,19)....or should that perhaos be between 1,21 since you are guaranteed at least one negative. (it's getting late here and my brain is closing down for the night......
