I need to apply the matrix below to a group of numbers
The matrix replaces the last number of the whole number with the specified character.
A negative number
-2505.25 would be 2505.2N
A positive number
31066.83 would be 31066.8C

Make sense?

Quick question.
If I wanted to use the same (the new one you resorted) matrix and apply replacing the last digit of the Date number in the spreadsheet keeping it three digits what would that look like?
001 would be 00A
-012 would be 01K
-005 would be 00N

You can try this for the 3 digit problem:

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
And I have this working for the original problem, though I rearranged the matrix slightly from your original orientation. I put line 0 above instead of at the end because LOOKUP needs to be in ascending order. Anyway, for this version to work, the balance values should be converted to text to properly recognize the trailing 0. Maybe @felixstraube can adjust his formula to account for the tens place 0 too, but for the moment, this should work if you convert your balances to text.

I ran into a problem with the first formula, it does not recognize when there is a zero at the end of the number and the negative it added the special character at the end of the negative number not replacing the last digit.

The new option works much better and so far I cannot find any flaws.

Thank you so much for your help!
You are welcome. Thanks for the feedback!

Are you sure? What happens with values of .0#?

D1D1=TRUNC(ABS(A1), 1)&INDEX($Q$2:$R$11, 1+MOD(ABS(A1)*100, 10), 1+(A1<0))


See col D for felix's formula. It got the last digit right for the character, but then it removed the .0 before the last digit. Is that the desired outcome? Should it be 50756.0Q?
You are right, for the .0 numbers the formula didn't work properly.
Here is the corrected formula:

Excel Formula:
=TEXT(TRUNC(ABS(E2), 1), "0.0")&INDEX($J$2:$K$11, 1+MOD(ABS(E2)*100, 10), 1+(E2<0))
