Hi,
If I want to change an entire Column to negative figures. I remember I've seen someone just multiplying that by -1 and copy and paste. I dont remember the ins and outs. Do you know a quick way. EG 1 5 6 And I want now -1 -5 -6 -- Many thanks for your help, Jose |

The quickest way I know is enter -1 in an unused cell.
Copy that cell then select the range to change and Paste SpecialMultiplyOKEsc Much easier than creating formulas which you have to change to values.
