How to convert from 100- to -100

How do you convert 100- to -100?
 
I have a spread sheet that instead of having -100 (negative 100), it shows
negaive 100 as 100-, is there anyway that I can convert this back to -100
faster by using a formular instead of typing it one by one, it's like 1000+
rows. Thanks.
