Spreadsheet question

Is it possible to change numbers in spreadsheet cells from say -1.00 to 1.00
 
Hi,

Put -1 in a cell and copy it. Select your number(s) and then

Edit|Paste Special - select multiply - OK

Delet the -1

If you want to do it with a formula, it's:
=-a1

Adjust the range to suit.

Regards,
Fred.
 
On the off-chance the cell could have *either* positive or negative values
in it, and assuming the OP would want to keep the positive values as
positive while only changing the negative values, that formula would be...

=ABS(A1)
