Numbers & Dates » Move minus sign from back to front (e.g. 65- to -65)
This utility will corrects numbers that have a trailing minus for negative numbers.For example a number such as "65-" will be converted into "-65" so that it is a number that Excel recognizes and that you can use in your calculations.
This utility is especially useful when you have to deal with certain imported text files because some (finance) system report negative numbers with the minus sign at the end.
