Hi

When originally all values are positive:
Enter -1 into some free cell, and copy the cell.
Select the column (or range with data), and then PasteSpecial vrom menu or
right-click dropdown - check Multiply and click on OK.

When there are negative values:
Select column (or range with data).
Replace all "-" with nothing.
Continue as above.
