Formula to Match Positive Number to Negative Number

[BrandonS4]

Is there a simple formula to match positive numbers to negative numbers?  I need to match them so I can clear them from my AR balances.

Hi @BrandonS4 --

You could try matching the absolute values (ABS) of the numbers, I would imagine that would do the trick.

How would that look in a workflow?

See if the attached makes sense.

Thanks,

My numbers are all in one column so I will have to tweak the workflow a bit.

Ok, let me know how it goes. Also, depending on your data, you might be able to do the same thing with a multi-row formula tool. The same concept, but it looks up and down rows.
