Given a dynamic array of numerical values.
The array always starts with positive values. Once it turns negative, the remaining rows will be negative.
I want to turn the first negative value positive and the subsequent negative values into 0.
I'm looking for a dynamic array solution that can handle both cases below. TIA

Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
The array always starts with positive values.
That doesn't appear to be the situation with Case 2.

Anyway, try this

Looking back at this, my formula might not meet the requirements as shown in the example below. For this sample data my previous formula (col B) fails to turn the first negative into positive so amended formula given in col C.

Solution
I meant to say 0 or positive values. This works. Thanks!
