How do I invert (change) the sign in a column of numbers?

You want negatives to become positives and positives to become negatives?

Enter -1 in an empty cell.

Copy that and select the column then EditPaste Special(in
place)MultiplyOKEsc.

One way:

Enter -1 in an empty cell. Copy the cell. Select your column. Choose
Edit/Paste Special, selecting the Values and Multiply radio buttons.
