Hi, when I download data from the system, the negative digits are reflected by putting a dash at the end of the number. How do I fix that so Excel auto finds all cells that have dash at the end of the cell and moves it to beginning in certain columns? Thanks!
Lots of ways to do that. here's just one:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-",A1)),-1*SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",""),A1)
copied down.

Temporary addition of accented to illustrate ongoing problem to the TT: L? fh?ile P?draig sona dhaoibh
it worked. Thanks!
You're welcome.
It would be very nice if you were to just click the Add Reputation button at the foot of any of the posts of members who helped you reach a solution.
Finally, if that takes care of your original question, please click on "Thread Tools" from the menu link (just above the first post in the thread) and mark this thread as SOLVED.
An other way: Please try
=IFNA(-TEXTBEFORE(A2,"-"),A2)
and copy down
You haven't shared exactly how you're importing into Excel. If your import process goes through the text import dialogs, the text import wizard includes a "trailing minus for negative numbers" option.
