Hello, I need to sum the negative and positive numbers in a column.
For example, some orders used to be cancled after it is entered. I use sumx function but the it considers the negative values as the positive ones. Please help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @JihyeHeo
what is your desired output?
if you need only sum of positive or only negative values try calculations like
CALCULATE(SUM([Sales Value]), [Sales Value]>0)
or
CALCULATE(SUM([Sales Value]), [Sales Value]<0)
Normal sum should have work.
Measure=sum(table[Amount])
Drag order number and measure in table visual.
Thanks & regards,
