Change sign of entire column of numbers

Guest

I have exported values from Money into an Excel spreadsheet, but each time the values display as negative numbers. How can I select an entire column of values and reverse the sign (usually negative to positive, but also would like positive to negative), without editing each cell value?

Thank you for your assistance.

Regards,
Pamela

put -1 in an empty cell. Copy the cell. Select your column. Choose
Edit/Paste Special, selecting the Value and Multiply radio buttons.
Click OK. Delete the -1.

Put -1 in a free cell and copy it. Select your values, then Edit -- Paste
Special -- Multiply.

Just enter in one cell "-1" , "copy" this celle, then you
select your column and make a "special paste" and
click "multiply" : this will multiply your column by "-1"
and therefore change the sign of your figures.My excel is
French so the names may be inaccurate but it works.
Good luck
