HELP! Need to sum columns where credit balances are shown as ###CR
I just got a huge trial balance from a client that shows debit amounts as
positive and credit amounts with a "cr" after the number. This makes it impossible to sum! Looks like this... 2,000 5,000CR 3,000 2,000CR How can I convert those CR amounts into negatives (either minus sign or using parentheses). It would take days to convert each one, and the Format function does not work, unless I'm missing a step. Please help ASAP. This is due tomorrow! Thank you! |

Assuming you have your numbers in Column A.
try in B1 =VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"CR","")) Copy the formula down. Once done copy ColB--paste Special--Values..

Using the Wizard is the best option.
If you need to use formula =IF(RIGHT(A1,2)="CR",-SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"CR",""),",",""),A1) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Jacob Skaria" wrote: Misunderstood and messed it not once but thrice...Sorry both... -- If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "ahwelch" wrote: That worked!

Hi,
You may use this formula in a spare column IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("CR",C4)),C4,-1*MID(C4,1,SEARCH("CR",C4,1)-1)) -- Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com "ahwelch" wrote in message ...
