Treg67,

Type -1 in a cell. Copy that. Select the numbers you want to convert
to negative. Paste Special and select Multiply.

Hi,

One way would be to type -1 (minus one) in a cell then - Edit - Copy.

Select the range of values you want to convert and chose - Edit -
Paste Special and here chose under under the Operations section -
Multiply and click OK

Regards,
Bondi
