Unable to display the sum of measure

Anonymous — Sun, 26 Jul 2020 04:30:20 GMT

The above image is just taken for reference but I want it to be seen as a visual table in Power BI

I have a common company key from table1 and table2. I have subtracted the values of table1 and table2 and created a measure(difference). But there are at times table2 > table1, this picks up a negative value. In the end the total under "difference" is 100, but I want it to be the sum of (100 +200) which I am unable to do.

I tried using ABS DAX function measure = ABS([Difference]), which does not affect the total since it takes the difference of 1250-1150 = 100.

I tried using an if statement as well : IF( table2 > table1 , difference *-1, difference*1). since the total is not calculated in a vertical fashion, it takes the horizontal difference.

Can anyone tell me how to get 300 here?
