Hi,

Been on stuck on this for a couple of days, and cannot figure this out. I have a Database in Microsoft Access and my excel file is connected to one of the queries to pull the data into excel.
The query within Access is called Fcst_scenarios, and I want to convert all revenue values as a positive. Example of the data below.

Cost_Type1 Net Portfolio
Revenue -1000 Project Y
Labour 5000 Project X
External Costs 259 Project Y
Revenue -450 Project Y
Labour 500 Overhead

I still need to keep the current formula that excludes any Portfolio as Overhead.

Thanks in advance.

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Update your Access query to use the absolute value function (ABS) on that field to convert all negatives to positives.
