Default Format cells to change a number from a positive to negative

Go to: Format, Cells, Category Custom find a format mask that looks like
what you want. The first format is for positive numbers, the second for
negative. Switch the format for positive and negative numbers. Play around
with them until you find what you want. For more choices, type "custom
number formats" into Help.

I would like to be able to change a positive number to a negative number and
vice versa by formatting the cell.
