    Making A Cell Equal To Another Cell But The Opposite Sign (±)

    Hello all,

    Say I have a cells A1 and A2 filled,

    A1= -0.5
    A2= 2

    Is there a formula I could use in B1 and B2 so that the values of which would be the same but the opposite sign?

    So For Example They would now be...

    B1= 0.5
    B2= -2

    I am trying to do this for a vast column of data.

    Thanks in advance for all help!!!
