I've never really bothered with utilities Add-Ins. I think that's because they tend to look like a list of one-trick pony's and I don't like clutter. If I've a laborious task to do then I tend to quickly capture what I need in VBA. However, asap-utilities' website inspires some confidence, so perhaps I'll give their Add-In a go.

This adds a new menu item to Excel which has a very wide range of additional functionality, some of which you may find very useful. In particular with reference to this tip, you can apply a formula to selected cells (not necessarily a continuous range) without having to enter the formula such as "-1" into the spreadsheet. If all you want to do is change the sign on a range of numbers (not formulae), either from positive to negative or vice versa, there is a special menu item for this. The add-in is worth a look for all sorts of other reasons. I have often found it helps me achieve something that Excel cannot do in a straightforward way..

It's frequently the case that there is more than one way of doing things and I'm sure each person chooses the method that suits them best. Which reminds me, it can be very worthwhile watching someone else using a PC to see some alternative styles of use. I've learnt some great tips that way. Hi Alastair,
