Multiply the cells by -1.

If the range of cells is A1:A1000, then in column B, starting in B1, put
=A1*-1, and fill down as appropriate.

Hi

Cut your data from your actual column, select a cell in a helper column,
Paste it. Now copy your data from the helper column, select the cell in your
actual colum, Paste Special - "Subtract".
