You wouldn't be a lawyer by any chance. J

I'll give it a shot.

Many thanks for your reply.

I forgot to mention that my Value list field is a Year plus a fund-raising
campaign, thus I can't define it as numeric, thus a negative has no effect.

 

 

Maybe, maybe not.

 

Let's say you have 3 fund-raising campaigns:

  Annual Campaign

  Year-End Campaign

  Guest Artist Campaign

 

You can calculate a negative numeric version of the year/campaign
combination like this:

            NegYearCamp =

                        -1 * ( Year +

                                    Case ( 

                                                Campaign = "Annual", 0.1; 

                                                Campaign = "Year-End", 0.2; 

                                                Campaign = "Guest Artist",
0.3; 

                                                0 

                                    )

                        )
