Hi, I would like to be able to enter a positive number in a cell and Excell
automaticaly make it a negitive. I sure there is an easy answer to this, but
I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Mark

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "H1:H10" '<== change to suit

On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If IsNumeric(.Value) Then
If .Value < 0 Then
.Value = .Value * -1
End If
End If
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click

You can also enter the list of positive numbers, and, upon completion, enter
-1 somewhere on the worksheet, copy it, select the column of numbers you
entered, select paste special, multiply. This will convert all the positive
numbers to negative.

It will also convert negative numbers to positive!

If Dave F answer almost worked maybe something similar to
=IF(A1<0,A1,A1*"-1")
