Excel can calculate, but not display, negative times. You can
enable it to display negative times, by switching to the 1904
Date System. Go to the Tools menu, choose Options, then the
Calculation tab. There, check the 1904 Date System option. Note,
however, that this will cause existing dates in the workbook to
be 4 years off.
