MAC Numbers Positive to Negative

Hello Everyone. I found a post on how to make Negative numbers Positive, but what I'm looking for is how to make Positive numbers into Negative numbers. Thanks!

If cell A2 contains 1, then the formula to make it negative in cell B2 would be -A2 and the result would be -1.


Or you could use the product function: product(A2, -1) in a formula.
