There may be an easier way, but enter 2:00. then in another cell enter -1,
copy it, select the original cell and do Edit=PasteSpecial and select multiply. You can also do: =TIMEVALUE("2:00")*-1 but the easiest I found was to enter -2/24 or -(2+(13/60))/24 to get -2:13 as an example. Format the cell as time of course. or -2.23/24 to get 2:15 as another example. Time is stored as the fraction of a 24 hour day. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "André Lavoie" wrote in message . ..

Hi Andre
Enter =-"2:00" It will display -0.083333 if unformated and ####### if timeformatted. But it's there, ready to calculate. user friendly ? Not really ;-) HTH.

that didn't work for me. Did it work for you - what version of Excel? Unless you meant enter a positive time and have it appear as negative. (don't see much use for that). -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Charles " wrote in message ...

You didn't answer the question. Did you enter -2:00 directly in a cell, or
did you enter 2:00 in a cell and have it appear as -2:00 -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Charles " wrote in message ... Tom, Excel 2000, Windows XP Home. I too don't see a need. but my formula worked. Charles --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

Tom,
I just entered 2:00 and it displayed -2:00. Also I don't know why André Lavoie would want this. Charle -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

He doesn't. He wants to enter -2:00 directly, not have it just display as
negative. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Charles " wrote in message ... Tom, I just entered 2:00 and it displayed -2:00. Also I don't know why André Lavoie would want this. Charles --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |
