Hi guys.
I have a spreadsheet with positive and negative numbers on it.
I need to reverse the values...so that the positives are now negatives...and the negs - positive.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks so much!!

Hi Jenny,Originally Posted by JennyW
A simple example
A1 = -25
A2 = A1*-1
Result = 25
or visa versa
If you need more help, let me know

Hi...wow...that worked great for the positives to trans in to negs...but how to I made the negatives turn in to positives!??
Not the greatest at math....eek!
Thanks.
Nevermind...not thinking straight this am....
Did what you said for all....thanks so much!! Life saver!!
See you are good at Maths
Another shortcut for accomplishing this kind of task is to enter "-1" (no quotes) in an empty cell. Copy this cell then highlight the range of data you want to reverse the sign. Do a Paste Special and check "multiply" in the lower part of the dialog box. Click OK and all cells will be reversed.
Works pretty slick!!
Good Luck
