find/replace "cr" from end of number to "-" in front of number
i have a spreadsheet with lots of numbers downloaded from our AS$)) system.
unfortunately, the columns have valid numbers and numbers like "******.**CR" (* = a valid number). i cannot get excel to convert the "CR" at the end of the number to a minus sign in the front of the number. any ideas? |

this really helped - thanks.
i did need to copy three columns of data and then apply that line to each "CR" value. i then referenced the original columns. MANY THANKS!
