Default Automatically changing cell information


Hey all,

Ive tried to figure out this problem myself, but I just dont know where
to look. Heres my problem:

Everyday I generate a report that shows debits and credits. Any credits
are shown as a '50.00CR', where as debits are shown as '50.00'. I am
wondering if it is possible to change the formatting so any cell shown
as '50.00CR' is changed to '-50.00' something of that nature. As of now
its a few thousand entries everyday and can take up to 20-30 minutes of
going through the lines and manually changing them.

Any solution is viable, I just need something so when I select the
column with all of these values and run a sum(), excel picks up that
the 50.00CR are indeed, negative values in the equation.

Thanks for any help with this problem.
