    Absolute values

    How do I format a number so it is an absolute value, meaning without any minus sign or parenthese? I would like to present absolute numbers and percentages without signs.

    Re: Absolute values

    you can put =ABS(A12) and so for all numbers...

    or you can Format cells -> Numbers and choose where negative number is present as red without -

    And then you can sellect collor for all numbers red and you got it

    Number formats, which affect appearance of value only.

    Numbers you can use

    General;General

    Percentages
    0%;0%

    To change the actual value use the ABS formula
