Conditional Format Matrix to Red/Black
Go to Visual Pane > Cell elements > Turn Font Color (or other option) to "On" > Click on the fx icon
Font Color.jpg

Choose Rules from the "Format style" dropdown (see screen shot below)
Choose "Values and totals" from the "Apply to" dropdown
Keep the "What field should we base this on?" dropdown as is.
Rules Value Options:
1) Choose greater than ">" from the 1st "If value" dropdown. 
Go to the next field.
2) Enter a very large negative number, e.g., -100000. Go to the next field.
3) Choose Number from the dropdown (see Note below).
4) Follow the screen shots below for the other Rules values.

Note:  There seems to be a glitch in how the “Apply to” dropdown and the “value dropdown” interact.
If the 3rd field of the Rules dropdown (1) does not show "Number" as a option, change the "Apply to" dropdown (2) to "Value only". 
"Number" should now appear as an option in the 3rd field of the Rules "If value" dropdown (1).
Change the 3rd "If value" dropdown (1) to Number, then go back and change the "Apply to" dropdown (2) to “Values and totals”.

In Field formatting, use Red as default color for this column.  This would render all values (negative or positive) in Red color.

Then use Conditional formatting to color the positive values in Green.  The conditional formatting would look something like this: 

 

Format by Rules

Based on Field

<Your Numeric Column Name>

 

Rules

If value is greater than or equal to  0  Number and is less than or equal to <a very large number> Number then Green

 

Please mark it as accepted solution if works.

Thank all of you contribute to help me solve this issue. but It still not working all your mention above. 
I think It's bug or error on this issue. I need to extra field in order to show red on negative values.
It doesn't make sense, right ? Why it need to add one more field in table in order to work ?
But my requirement don't need it
you can see picture at below

Hi,

 

This is possible by using a gradient with custom values.

Thanks! That resolved the issue! 🙂

@virakprom 

Can you show me a screen shot of your rule with greater than -1 (NEGATIVE 1) and NUMBER and less the 0 number.

Thank you @virakprom 

Can you share your .pbix file?  I have no idea why that is not working.

Hello @virakprom 

I don't have access to your company's sharepoint.  You will have to load it to something like OneDrive or DropBox and give us that link.

Hello @virakprom 

You can change the type from percent to number and put a negative amount in the first field.  The formatting below will format negative % from -100% to 0 as red.

Hi @virakprom ,

 

Please set the your conditional formatting as per screen shot below and let me know your result:

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you!!!

Please take a quick glance at newly created dashboards : Restaurant Management Dashboard , HR Analytics Report , Hotel Management Report, Sales Analysis Report , Fortune 500 Companies Analysis , Revenue Tracking Dashboard

It still not work. I try to follow like you mention at above.

@virakprom 

In your example -26 % is the same as -.26.  If you format the number with 

Greater than -1 NUMBER and is less than 0 NUMBER that is the same as saying -100% and 0%.

When you use the % setting it is looking at the percentage of your data meaning, if you have 100 data points and pick Less than 50 percent it will format the first 50 data points.
