Negative numbers

I have a report that I import into Excel and it displays negative numbers
with the sign to the right of the number (example: 8.:cool:. I would like the
number to be negative so I can use it. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thanks for the link. Is there a way to change the format while in place
without using VB? I'm not experienced with it. Can a custom format be created
under "formating cells" to change the negative sign?

slot guy,

Have another look at the link JE gave you. There's a formula at the top you
can use without using VB.

Formatting won't change it, since it's not a number. If you're using
XL02/3 use the non-VB method mentioned on the page. If you're using a
prior or Mac version, I don't know of a way to do it in-place.
