There is nothing specifically wrong with your code. Assuming you have
this
code in the sheet module, I would do this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
if Target.Count 1 then exit sub
On Error goto ErrHandler
Application.EnableEvents = False

If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("F5:F2005")) Is Nothing _
And Target.Offset(0, -3).Value = "Sale of Item" Or
Target.Offset(0, -3).Value = "Shrinkage" Then
if isnumeric(Target) then
Target.Value = abs(Target.Value) * -1
end if
End If
ErrHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Then run code like this

Sub EventsBackOn()
Applicationl.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

then see if it works. If not, then the next step is to make sure you
have
an exact match with column C values.

With:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("F5:F2005")) Is Nothing
_
And Target.Offset(0, -3).Value = "Sale of Item" Or
Target.Offset(0, -3).Value = "Shrinkage" Then
Target.Value = Target.Value * -1
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

When I select from Col C either Sale of Item or Shrinkage and enter
say
5
in
my Col F my intention (with the code above is to convert the 5 in Cell
F12
(say) to -5.
But that is not happening.
Can someone assist me?
TIA,
