Good day all

I know there is someone that can assist. I work at a company who's accounting system always exports negative numbers/credits with the annotation of cr at the end of the number for eg, 1000cr, instead of -1000. Is there a formulae that one can use to change it to the latter?

Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Try
=IF(RIGHT(A1,2)="cr",-SUBSTITUTE(LOWER(A1),"cr",""),A1)
