In the next column, say B, enter =-B1 and copy down.
This will reverse the sign and leave zeroes un-affected -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England HIS "me" wrote in message ...

put -1 in a blank cell. Select the cell and do Edit=Copy
Select all the cells you want to change (including cells containing zero) and do Edit=Paste Special and select Values and Multiply. -- Regards Tom Ogilvy "me" wrote in message ...
