Do you want to remove it or relocate it to the front of the number making it
a negative number? If you want to relocate it... Select the cell(s) in question Goto DataText to Columns Click Next twice Click Advanced Make sure Trailing minus for negative numbers is checked OKFinish To remove it completely (assuming it's the only dash in the cell): Select the cell(s) in question Goto EditReplace Find what: - Replace with: nothing, leave this blank Replace All -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Meeru" wrote in message ...

How to remove a - sign after the number
thanks Valko, i want the first option remove and replace, but i can do for
