External Data-Changing Numeric Formatting
Hi All,
I am importing external data via database query. There is one column of data that is in the positive position that needs to be converted into the negative position (entire column). i.e. 21.63 needs to read as -21.63. Can this be done? Thanks in advance. Cheryl |

Just negate the value in your SQL:
select -t.columname from tablename t Tim "Cheryl" wrote in message ... Hi All, I am importing external data via database query.
