    Negative sign is on right end

    I have a file that was downloaded into text format. I used the value function to convert the positive numbers. The negative numbers look like this
    1234.56- How can I convert this into a negative value?

    Scorpvin, after clearing the non-breaking spaces, do Text to columns on each column.
