How do you convert 100- to -100 in excel?
Since you asked to convert "100-" to -100 via formula,
try this With numeric text in A1 B1: =SIGN(--(RIGHT(L3,1)&1))*SUBSTITUTE(L3,"-","") Does that help?

Try
=LEFT(D1,3)*-1 And if the length of the text varies try =LEFT(D1,FIND("-",D1)-1)*-1 HTH Regards, Howard "How to convert from 100- to -100" m wrote in message ...

Hi,
Little doubt that the text to columns command is the way to go, but if you want a formula here is another one: =IF(RIGHT(A1)="-",-SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",),A1) -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
