Changing Formula to Value

    I am trying to find and replace all negative values in an entire column (2000+ rows.) All the negative values are actually formulas of a couple other cells though so my find and replace isn't working since it only lets me find and replace formulas. Is there a way around this or a way to change that column into values only, not formulas? Thanks.

    Fyros,


    You don't say what you want to change the negative values to. If you want to change them to the same values, but positive, put =ABS( ) around your original formula and this will always calculate a positive amount.


    If you want to return zero or a blank cell if the result of the calculation is negative, then put an IF statement around your formula, e.g.


    =IF(A1*3<0,0,A1*3) [ for a zero result ]
    =IF(A1*3<0,"",A1*3) [ for a blank result ]


    Hope this helps.
