Hello,

Is there a way to convert all negative numbers In a column to positive numbers?

The thing is that, I am copying the value of cells with formulas to a different location with a vba script. So now I need a script that will convert any negative number to positive number. There may be blank cells in the column. And i am doing so to last used row.

Let's say column B is the target
Thanks

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
add in to the script to multiply by -1

If you have a mixture of positive and negative numbers use the abs() function. That will change them all to positive.
