Hi all 🙂 New user to Power BI so trying to get my head around it.
My aim is to get power bi to look up look through the data I have in column 2 - and replace all negative figures with positive. Any advice would be greatly appreicated!
My data looks something like this:
Acct Type | $ |
Fees paid | 10 |
Pens | -20 |
Staples | -5 |
Refunded items | 50 |
paper | -10 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
