DAX: To sum negative and positive numbers in a column

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!

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)​

It would really help if you could phrase your problem/question in a more understandable and detailed way. For the time being it's not possible to understand what the issue is and what you want to calculate.

Thanks.

Normal sum should have work.

 

Measure=sum(table[Amount])

 

Drag order number and measure in table visual.

 

Thanks & regards,
