I have some data values coming over from a text file as :

 

805.99-

.78-

120.89-

 

I need to be able to convert/replace the ending "-" to a Leading so it will convert to a fixed decimal value.

 

They need to be:

-805.99

-.78

-120.89

 

I have tries several expressions, but no luck......could be late in the day on a Friday, lol

IIF(EndsWith([Value], "-"), ToNumber("-"+ReplaceChar([Value],"-","")), ToNumber([Value])) should work
