Minus signs at end of cell

[jnaylor]

I have a sheet imported from a mainframe which shows minus signs at the end of the cell instead of the beginning in each cell where the value is minus.
How can I correct this

Hi,

Didn't download the file from Aaron's site (which is nice), so apologies if this is the same.

Select your range (or modify the routine to find the range) and run this:

Sub test()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Selection
If Not c.HasFormula And IsNumeric(c) Then c = CDbl(c)
Next c
End Sub
