if sum of total is negative add to this week else no

hello i have a table

say for initial month 1:


Name  Pay     Previous Pay    Total Pay
A1000 1000
B-2000 -2000
C-1000 -1000
Total-2000 -2000


and if i select month 2:

Name    Pay     Previous Pay     Total Pay
A50010001500
B3000-20001000
C4000-10003000
Total7500-20005500

 

measure is :

 

Pay = sum([pay])

previous pay = calculate([pay],previousmonth)

total pay = if([previous pay] < 0 ,[pay]+[previous pay],[pay])

 


when i do this measure, it only affects the negative numbers and i get this:

Name     Pay      Previous Pay    Total Pay
A5001000500
B3000-20001000
C4000-10003000
Total7500-20004500



so how can i say if total of [previous pay] < 0 then add previous with current pay

but this isnt my desired result:

my desired result is the thrid table which is this:

Name     Pay      Previous Pay     Total Pay
A50010001500
B3000-20001000
C4000-10003000
Total7500-20005500

@Anonymous , change the measure like

total pay =
sumx(Values(Table[Name]), if([previous pay] < 0 ,[pay]+[previous pay],[pay]))
