Change positive number to negative number
Hi,
I've searched this board and have tried a few things, no luck yet. I have about 100 rows, in columns A and B there is descriptive text. In column C it is either blank or it contains the text "CR". In column D there is a value (number with 2 decimal places). Column E is blank and available to use for the formula. If there is "CR" in column C, then the value in Column D must be displayed as a negative number. If "CR" doesn't exist then the number should be left positive. How can I do this? I've been working with the ABS and IF functions in Column E but can't get it to work. Please help. Thanks
