Showing Negative as Postive
I know I done this before but I am drawing a blank. I am exporting a report
from Crystal Report. I the column contains negative figures. In Crystal I can tell it to "reverse the sign to display". In other words I can have a negative show as a postive. However, when I export into Excel it imports as a negative. I know there is a way to change a negative number to a positive number in Excel. Need help ASAP!!! |

If the data is in column A, use a helper column and enter = -A1 and drag down.
If the data also contains positive number that you wish to remain positive i.e. turn all figures into hash values, enter =If(A1<0,-A1,A1) into the helper column and drag down.

so if -1.25 in A1 then put a formula in B1 that says =abs(a1), this will return 1.25 for both a negative and a positive number. -- Skeep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skeep's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30822 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=504849 |
