Changing sign of a Sumif or Sumifs result

John Sitton

Is there a "proper" way to change the sign for SUMIF or SUMIFS formula results. I have found that

 

=-SUMIF()  doesn't work; but, that = 0 - SUMIF() does. Is there a way to do it without the "0"?

Can you enclose your formula in paren's and then add *-1.  That's how I do it in excel.

Yes, I can close in ( ) and multiply by -1 to change the sign; that works as well. Thant may be cleaner and more easily understood by reviews of the sheet. Thanks
