    Convert negative numbers into positive ones

    I need a quick solution to convert all the negative numbers in my sheet to positive ones. There are positive numbers but I just want a formula to convert all the negatives to positives. I don't want to just replace the minus sign with the 'replace' tool as I need the numbers to go into a pivot table and when I did this earlier the pivot table still considers them negative.

    Thanks

    Try the ABS function

    EDIT Replacing the - with a + using Ctrl+H works for me

    That's exactly what I don't want...

    What's the ABS function and what's the formula?
