1202.4
to
-1937.20
-968.60

put -1 in a cell
copy the cell
highlight the range you want converted and right click, paste special->multiply
May not be the best way, but why not change the NumberFormat to "0.00"
then multiply the cells by -1.
Or if you're not using VBA, set a cell as -1 and then paste special that
to all the cells as a multiply. Then go and change the number format
for those cells.
Probably the most direct way.

Enter -1 in an unused cell then copy that cell. Select the range that you
want to convert then select Paste Special > Multiply

How about if I want to add 000 in front of the number? ie:
1937.2
968.6
24215
701.4
1202.4
to
0001937.2
000968.6
00024215
000701.4
0001202.4
If you want three 0's regardless of the number of digits then use the Custom
format:
"000"#.##
if you want a constant number of digits before the decimal point then use:
0000000.#
