Negative Numbers in Cells
Is there a way to format a cell so that no matter how you enter a number it
will always be negative? I.E. enter in 28.50 and the cell automatically makes it (28.50). |

One way to do this is by adding a column with formulas that refer to
the column in which you enter numbers. For instance if you enter data in A1, the formula in B1 might be something like =ABS(A1)*-1 This takes the absolute value of A1 and multiplies by -1, returning a negative number. The absolute value is in there just in case you enter a negative number. |
