    Did you try...

    Find and Replace
    • Ctrl + H (Opens Find and Replace dialogue box)
    • Find what: -
    • Replace with: (nothing)
    • Replace All
    • OK
    HTH
    Regards, Jeff

    Another solution could be using the formula abs()
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.
