Default Turning positive numbers to negative


IS there a way to turn positive numbers to negative without going into
the field at the top and keying in the minus (-) sign?

Thanks,

Put -1 in an empty cell
edit|copy
select your range of positive numbers
edit|paste special|check multiply
clean up that helper cell with -1 in it.
