Hi, If your goal is to only display the values according to a uniform convention, you can define a cell numbering format that reverses the display when compared to a "normal" display for the cells that contain reverse-convention values. Something like this:
[<=0]# ##0;[>0]-# ##0;Standard This will apply a "positve" format to a negative number, and a "negative" format to a positive number, displaying "32" as "-32" and vice-versa. Of course, this only changes the display. If you make any calculations with these numbers, you will need to adjust your formula accordingly but that is something relatively easy to do if your column heading or a cell contains the name of the financial institution that provided the value. I hope this helps. Rémy.
