[Solved] Change display sign of data without changing actual sign of data

Change display sign of data without changing actual sign of data

Hello,
 
I need to change the displayed sign of selected data in a spreadsheet without changing the
actual sign of the data.The reason is that although sales revenue is actually a credit (ie) negative, we have non specialist users who are confused by this so I need to display the data as a positive (good news!).
Conversely, expenses need to be displayed
as negatives although they are debits (positives) in our databases.
 
Thanks
