hi

I believe there is a way that you can change values on screen that ar
positive to negative or vice versa!!

I would be really grateful if someone could tell me how??!!
 
Multiply with -1

=A2*-1

or you can put -1 in an empty cell, copy it, select the values (or
preferably a copied range of the values in case you need to go back to the
original for any reason), do edit>paste special and select multiply

Click to expand...
to change A1 in another cell use the formula =A1*-1 or use a macro, I have
not checked this but it should work ok.

Sub PosToNeg()
dim c

For each c in selection
If isnumeric(c) then
c.value = c*-1
end if
next

End Sub

Yes, multiply by -1. But if you want to just change a whole group, you could
just type a -1 in some random cell and copy it (ctrl + C). Then select the
cells you want to change and Edit > Paste Special, select the 'multiply'
radio button and click OK.
