Default How to change positive values in a cell to negative in Excel 2000

Say I have a column of numbers and they are positive and I decide that the
sum function would be simpler if they were shown as negative values:

ie 300 in one cell and -250 in another cell gives you an answer of 50. If,
the -250 is shown as 250 how can I change it to -250 to give me the correct
result?

Tedious to retype data.
