Default Negative entry

I tend to respond to the question asked unless it is ambiguous or clearly
mis-stated.

But be aware that this changes only the way the number is shown, not the
underlying value. So if the value is then used elsewhere in a formula, the
positive value will be used, which I would find very confusing. Whilst
this is exactly what the OP asked, it may well not be what was wanted!
Certainly the OP should be made aware of this.

Can I format cells so that any number entered into it is shown as
negative
automatically ie not having to make the entry with a minus sign


Thanks
