Hi I am looking for a way to change negative amounts to positives and visa versa. Am currently doing in excel and moving over but wondering if possible in Airtable?
Can anyone help please?
Thanks, Maria

Use a formula to multiply by -1?

Thanks David - works a treat just like excel! Did kinda try with formula before but couldn’t get it to work. Thanks again
I came across the same problem when calculating travel time using ‘duration’ instead of date. Since we do not travel backwards in time, I created this formula using * -1 to end up with a positive number (i.e. leaving Brussels at 21:00 and arriving in a German city at 08:15 next morning.
IF({End Timed}-{Start Time} < 0, (({End Timed}-{Start Time})*-1), {End Timed}-{Start Time})
I hope it helps a bit for anyone who is trying to solve a comparable problem.
I have a strange way of accomplishing this, but because I tend to upload with CSV, I wanted something that would stick. I primarily deal with costs, so I’ll speak in those terms.
I create two columns: Import Cost and Actual Cost.
Imported Cost is a straight currency number which allows for negative numbers.
Actual Cost is a function >> Import Cost *-1
Then, I hide the Import Cost column.
When I import my CSV, I connect the data to the Import Cost.
After it imports, the Actual Cost column populates correctly, and I don’t even see the Import Cost because I’ve hidden it. This way, it’ll hold the import selection and bring in all new CSVs correctly.
Hope this helps.
