Data Import - formatting
I'm exporting accounting data fm a business system into Excel. Negative
dollar amounts come into Excel in this format "12,345.67-". The trailing "-" is formatting at text and not currency thus my numbers aren't adding up. Is there a way I can convert "12,345.67-" to "-12,345.67"? tks, steve |

You can use a formula like this, to convert the negative ammounts and leave
the possitive the same: =IF(RIGHT(A2,1)="-",--("-" & LEFT(A2,LEN(A2)-1)),A2) Hope this helps, Miguel. "sjs" wrote: I'm exporting accounting data fm a business system into Excel.
