Default Formula help

Hi,
I have a spread sheet set up so that some values are negative (this is so
that they are included in "n", but not included in certain formulas) and i am
trying to workout a formula that would calculate the median as if the values
were positive. As it is a median value, it would not be appropriate to just
times that answer by -1, and as the -ve values are not in a certain order, i
can't use this method [ =MEDIAN(U12*-1,U13*-1,U14*-1 etc....]
Spreadsheet example:
U
1.2
1.9
-1.2
0.5
-1.9
I am not sure if this is even possible, but any help/suggestions would be
appreciated
Cheers
