some are positive some are negative. I need to add +2 to the positive
numbers, and -2 to the negative numbers.
4 will become 6 and -12 become -14. I recieved help adding +1 and -1,
but now +2/-2 are needed. Thanks

=IF(A1<0,A1-2,IF(A10,A1+2,"I haven't said what I want to do if the original
number is zero"))
or, making a guess at your unspecified result,
=A1+2*SIGN(A1)
