I want to use this formula to replace ALL cells where the "-" symbol is on
the right by moving it to the left in front of the number.

This formula works great, but only for cells with "1-"...if the number is
any different I'd have to set it up for every possible number which would be
a rediculously long macro. Any ideas on how I can modify this? THANKS!!!
