Converting numbers from negative to positive

Hi

 

I have a column in my table which is a decimal number. Some of the values are positive numbers and some are negative. I want to be able to convert the negative numbers to a positive.
I have tried using Number.Abs and that doesnt work, is there a way to change the negatives. 

Total

1

13

-20

10

-8

25

 

Thank you for your help

Hi @maurcoll  use only ABS() it should work  

In here i have created a calculated column, Abs Value = ABS('Table'[Total])
