I have a big data excel file, there are many negative numbers. Now I want to highlight all the negative values and then multiply it with a specific number (for example 0.5). Could you kindly show me how to do it?
Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
What does the "big data excel file" mean? Big range of data in single sheet, or medium range of data in lot of sheets?

I think you can use format cell to highlight the negative values and after that, you can use "IF" to multip with which number you want.
Supposedly A column is your data-> B1= If(A1<0,A1*0.5,"")

It took 6s for range "A1:ZZ10000" (10,000 rows * 702 columns)
Does it annoy too much?

VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Sub multifly()
Dim i&, j&, lcell As Range, rng, n, t
t = Timer
n = 0.5
Set lcell = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)
rng = Range("A1", lcell).Value
For i = 1 To lcell.Row
    For j = 1 To lcell.Column
        If rng(i, j) < 0 Then rng(i, j) = rng(i, j) * n
    Next
Next
Range("A1", lcell).Value = rng
MsgBox Timer - t
End Sub

MsgBox Timer - t
End Sub
chỉ cần chính xác với đủ dữ liệu là được, thời gian không quan trọng ạ.

Have you given it a shot?
And, does it work?
Not yet, I will try it after finishing the remaining work and tell you. Moreover, the speed is not important, I only need the accuracy and to make sure every negative number is multiplied.

Sub multifly()
Dim i&, j&, lcell As Range, rng, n, t
t = Timer
n = 0.85
Set lcell = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)
rng = Range("B1", lcell).Value
For i = 1 To lcell.Row
For j = 1 To lcell.Column
If -25 < rng(i, j) < -15 Then rng(i, j) = rng(i, j) * n
Next
Next
Range("A1", lcell).Value = rng
MsgBox Timer - t
End Sub

When I try with the range from -25 to -15 , it said out of range and when I pressed debug, the error appeared in the underlined are above.

Replace
If -25 < rng(i, j) < -15 Then
by
If rng(i, j)>-25 And rng(i,j) < -15 Then

Still having the same problem, I will attach an image below for you. I want to multiply the conditional number in column B.
