Fix Trailing Minus Sign: e.g., Convert 50- to -50

This tool fixes numbers with the minus sign at the end and moves it to the front so Excel recognizes them as negative numbers.
For example, it converts "250-" into "-250", making the value usable in calculations and formulas.

This is particularly useful when handling imported data from accounting or financial systems that format negative numbers with a minus sign at the end.

This tool is a quicker and easier alternative to using Excel's "Text to Columns" feature with the "Trailing minus for negative numbers" option under advanced settings.
