    Set dc_column = excel_table.Columns("D/C")
    Set amount_column = excel_table.Columns("Amount")
    
    ' Loop through each row in the "D/C" column
    Dim i As Long
    For i = 1 To dc_column.Rows.Count
        ' Check if the "D/C" value is "D"
        If dc_column.Cells(i).Value = "D" Then
            ' Multiply the corresponding amount by -1
            amount_column.Cells(i).Value = amount_column.Cells(i).Value * -1

Usage Example: Suppose we have an Excel table with the following data:

D/C Amount
D 10
C 20
D 30
C 40

To use the multiply_if_dc function, enter the following formula in a cell: =multiply_if_dc(A1:B5). This will modify the "Amount" column based on the "D/C" column's values:

D/C Amount
D -10
C 20
D -30
C 40

The "Amount" column has been multiplied by -1 for rows where the "D/C" value is "D".
