FORMULA TO OFFSET NEGATIVE AND POSITVE NUMBERS
Good morning
I am looking for a formula where I can offset a worksheet with positive and negative numbers without manually finding the opposite number. For example if I have 100 I want to be able to find the corresponding -100 to offset Excel formulas and functions Excel formulas and functions

- Hi Tonya1205, can you provide some context? Are you actually searching for this "opposite" in some range of cells?
The "opposite" of any number is just that number multiplied by -1.
So, you can use FIND, XLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, MATCH, XMATCH and so on by passing that into the search parameter of whichever function you choose.
If you upload an example, someone can help more easily.flexyourdata this is something simple but I have a set of numbers both positive and negative and I am trying to create a formula where a can match the positive to the negative number so that it will net out to be zero. I will be able to separate the two to see what numbers don't have an offsetting number

Not sure though what the data at the bottom is for. It just seems to be a duplication op the top part but shifted a few columns.
