    Changing a row of positive numbers to negative numbers

    From Quickbooks you have the ability to transfer a spreadsheet into excel.

    I have a Column of positive numbers that I would like to change to negative numbers.

    Thank you,
    Wendy

    Also, you can enter -1 into a blank cell, copy it, highlight the values you wish to invert and choose Edit -> Paste Special -> Operation: Multiply
