Changing a column of negitive numbers to positive

How would some one change a virtical column of negitive numbers to positive at one time so you don't have to change the field data one by one?

Hi Jason,
Just select the column or the range containing the numbers and run the macro:
Sub Positive
' Takes the absolute values of all the numbers
' in the selected range.
Dim Cel As Range
For Each Cel In Selection
If IsNumeric(Cel.Value) Then
Cel.Value = Abs(Cel.Value)
End If
Next Cel
End Sub

Simply...
...do an Edit | Replace (Control+H) changing all
occurances of the minus sign, -, with nothing.

Simplest answer: Go to any blank cell and enter
"-1" (without the quotes). Now select that cell and perform a "copy". Next select the entire range of Negative Numbers you'd like to convert. Finally, perform an Edit/Paste Special, Multiply.
Done!

Simpliest?...
Try beating...
Control+H, "-", and 1 mouse click!
When you do the comparison don't forget the time/effort
needed to clear the -1 you entered.
