I tried using the replace function- but could not figure out how to change a positive amount to a negative amound easily...

Anyone know a quick way to do this another way?

Thanks!

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.

1. Enter -1 into an unused cell
2. Copy the cell containing -1
3. Select the values you want to change
4. Paste Special... Values Multiply
5. Clear cell containing value entered at step 1.
