Format to a negative value
I have two columns of data. The first column contains either the text L or
P. The 2nd column is a percentage value. What I wish to do is if the first column is L then format the percentage value to a negative. If P leave as is. Can this be done. Any help would be much appreciated. |

Assuming the 2 cols are cols A and B, data from row1 down Put in C1: =IF(A1="","",IF(A1="L",-B1,IF(A1="P",B1,""))) Format C1 as percentage, copy down -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
