DAX function

HI, 

I am new to PWBI DAX function. Can anyone help me with correct DAX function to show this number "-0.7%" as (0.7%).

 

Thanks,

Simky

Hey @deys ,


You can use the ABS function (absolute value).

You can also multiple by -1, "[Column] * -1"


With ABS you could get rid of negative numbers while not impacting the positive numbers.

Sounds more like a measure formatting issue rather than requiring a specific function to do it.

 

For future reference, a more descriptive thread title would be useful, we kind of know the question will be about a DAX function in the DAX forum
