Default Columns negative to positive

If you have a column of negative and positive numbers, how do you transfer
these numbers all to be positive in the next column?

One way:

A1 = -10

Formula in B1:

=ABS(A1)

Returns 10

If the numbers in the first column are in A1:A100, then in B1 put the
formula =ABS(A1) and drag it down to B100.
