Default Can excel automatically place a negetive sign in a number

One of our employees routinely enters a column of numbers that are all
negetive. Is there some way to have Excel automatically enter the negetive
sign?

Set up a custom format of (for example) -#,##0 . Then if you enter 2 in the
first cell so formatted, Excel will show -2.
