Changing Positive to Negative
 
This may be a really dumb question, but hey here goes.

I have a column of positive monetary amounts (i.e. debits). They SHOULD be
negative amounts (i.e. credits).

Is there a way to change all of them from positives to negatives in one go?

Thanks


Hi
Type -1 in a blank unused cell. Copy this, select your range and then
Edit|Paste Special|Multiply.
Take a copy of your sheet before you start!
