Well, negative numbers can be represented visually many ways and nno matter how they are displayed if the formulas are going to work they need to be negative numbers. Some possibilities: look at the "filter special" functionality there you can filter by color or value. i.e. only shows rows where Column C is red or where column c has a value less than 200. Although my understanding of Excel filters is very limited, I have only been able to create filters for specific columns in a table, not the entire table or row values which could be useful in this case. 2. Change numeric cell formatting there is a grid to select a format for negative numbers. You should be able to do this unless the sheet creator 3.Search functionality [appears to be a not possible]locked down formats. I would have expected that with all the mathematical word done in Excel that one could search by numerical values, but I did not see an option to find the next cell with value < a specific number. 4. Pose the problem to the Microsoft accessibility desk. I can't believe you are the first person to encounter RED negatives and not been able to find them.

Math is math, and positive is positive and negative is negative and ne'er the twain shall be the same. It is essential that anyone working with numeric values knows the actual value of said numbers. -- Brian *-* Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 *The terrible state of public education has paid huge dividends in ignorance. Huge. We now have a country that can be told blatant lies — easily checkable, blatant lies — and I’m not talking about the covert workings of the CIA. When we have a terrorist attack, on September 11, 2001 with 19 men — 15 of them are Saudis — and five minutes later the whole country thinks they’re from Iraq — how can you have faith in the public? This is an easily checkable fact. The whole country is like the O.J. Simpson jurors.* ~ Fran Lebowitz in Ruminator Magazine interview with Susannah McNeely (Aug/Sept 2005) |
