How do I prefix a worksheet of numbers with a Minus (-) Sign
Can you select them, copy, select an empty area or new worksheet, and from PasteSpecial pick subtract?
Clear original range, then Copy/move copied values back to the original range location. Regards Robert McCurdy "Sammy" wrote in message ...
