No such luck but thanks what I am trying to achieve is for example in cell
'O'11 I need to place the formula to produce the answer. In cell 'O'6 the
the number I want to multipy the number in cell 'P'10 with this produces
an
negative answer and I need to try and get it to produce a positive answer
by
somehow getting rid of the minus sign in the answer cell O11. Sum I am
doing
is 0.36 x -23.5 = -8.46 need to tyry and get it to become 8.46. ?.
