Default Create a credit (negative) column in Excel?

Credits are generally positive values.

Don't enter numbers with a negative value in the credit column.

Enter those in your debit column.

Or am I missing some detail?

If you wanted negative values to show as positive, in a helper column enter

=ABS(cellref)
