Turning negative to positive on a mass scale

I am currently working with data that I exported from Intuit Quicken to
Excel. I was using a budget report that show all cash outflows as
negative numbers.

But I want to show these as positive numbers. I was wondering if there
were some technique for turning negative numbers into their positive
equivalents using a search and replace or any other technique that would
not involve individually changing each cell.

If you multiply each cell by -1 it will change negative numbers to
positive (and positive to negative). To do this in one operation,
enter -1 into a blank cell somewhere. Select that cell and click
