Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
HEllo, mevans,
welcome here!

Type -1 in any cell
copy that cell
select the range you want to change form + to -
rightclick and choose pastevalues: in that box choose "multiply"

kind regards,
Erik

Well you could put -1 in a cell.

Then select that and goto Edit>Copy.

Then select the range of positive numbers tou want to change to negative numbers.

Then goto Edit>Paste Special... and then in the Operation section select Multiply.
