Sign in front of number
Hello. Is it possible to make a "-" sign in front of all the numbers that says sell, instead of inserting it manually for all the numbers?
You can do this with Conditional Formatting.
- Go to the Home tab and click Conditional Formatting.
- Select New Rule.
- Select Use formula to determine which cells to format.
- Enter the following formula:
=A2="SELL"
- Click Format and select the Number tab.
- Go to the Number tab and select Custom.
- In the Type field, enter the following custom formatting:
"-"0
- Click OK.
Now the values in column B will be displayed with a minus sign right in front of them if the corresponding cell in column A contains the word "SELL".
Attached is an inserted file with the steps and formulas described above.
