how can I globally change minus numbers to positive ones?
If the numbers are in a contiguous range:
Type -1 in an empty cell; copy it; select the range of negative numbers and use Edit|Past Special-multiply. Now delete the cell with -1. If the numbers are in a column mixed in with positive: insert a helper column; In top cell of helper column enter =ABS(A1) ... change A1 to fit your situation Copy this down the column; Now use Copy and Paste Special but this time specify Values. Now you have a column of positive numbers and can delete the original column. Any help? -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "james" wrote in message ... |
