How do I bulk change the sign (+ or -) in Excel
Hi
One way is to put -1 in an unused blank cell. Copy it. Select your range and then Edit/Paste/Special/Multiply. Andy. PS Make a backup first! "Steve" wrote in message ... I have columns of negative numbers that I want to make positive and wondered if I can do this is one stroke? |

Thanks Andy, I also found after posting of course, that all I had to do was
use the find and replace (- for a blank). "Andy" wrote: Hi One way is to put -1 in an unused blank cell. Copy it. Select your range and then Edit/Paste/Special/Multiply. Andy. PS Make a backup first!
