Absolut value pr row

Hi

 

Is it any function which allows you to calculate the absolute value pr row, and then summarize this?
Tried the "Absolut" function, but the outcome is not right

 

Thnx

Hi @Haroon95 

 

I figure that you should probably refer to the below expression:

Measure = SUMX(Table1,CALCULATE(ABS(MAX([Column1]))))

I’ve created a sample and attached here: https://wicren-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/dinaye_wicren_onmicrosoft_com/Ecz0ysTbu0dJn2JE_wXWF9...

Hi 
tried it now, and this error comes up. Think its because I am trying to calculate abs value of a measure, and not a column. My solution was to extract the measure values to excel, sort the data, and then create a new table with the absolute values.

Do you have a way to calculate total abs value for a measure?

Regards.

Hi ,

 

No need to add Max ahead of the measure name and using SUMX:

Measure 3 = SUMX(Table1,ABS([Measure 2]))
