Default Convert a negative result to a positive result

Tom,

Take a look at the ABS function, which returns the absolute (positive) value
of a number.

How do you convert a negative answer in a formula to a
positive answer?
I am dividing a positive number by a negative number but
want the percentage answer to be a positive number.
Thank you.
