Default change negative sign from end of the number to the begining

Type 1 in an empty cell in your spread sheet. Copy it then select the column
of numbers in question, paste special, multiply.

This multiplies all values by positive 1 (so positive values remain positive
and negative values remain negative) and all your negative numbers should be
formatted consistently.

at the end of the number. How to I convert the negative sign from back of the
