Value = 
VAR NormalValue = SUM ( 'Table'[salesvalues] )
VAR BuyValue = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[salesvalues] ), 'Table'[buy_sell] = "buy" )
VAR SellValue = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[salesvalues] ), 'Table'[buy_sell] = "sell" )
VAR Difference = ABS ( ABS ( SellValue ) - ABS ( BuyValue ) )
VAR _Sign = DIVIDE ( SellValue + BuyValue, ABS ( SellValue + BuyValue ) )
VAR Result =
    IF ( 
        HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[buy_sell] ),
        NormalValue,
        Difference * _Sign
    )
RETURN 
    Result

Hi @tamerj1 ,

 

Can we use table visual  instead of Matrix visual , by using matrix visual we are missing data which consits of null values in it.
