That is a surprisingly complex and very subjective topic.

 

What is the variance from -10 to +20 %  what about from -10 to 0?  What about from 0 to 20 ?

 

You need to go through all scenarios and decide for yourself which interpretation makes sense for you.  Using ABS is one common approach, but it does not cover all scenarios.

Hi @hueuro 

@try using Dax SIGN function for handling positive negative values. Also instead of IFERROR use you can switch to DIVIDE function cause it's designed to handle 0-division / NaN / infinity errors. 

hope it helps !
