1test 1-0.3%-100
2test 2+2%200
3test 3+1.1%150
1test 1-0.208%-123

 

and I want to tables which will show:

 

Table 1 (NEGATIVE)

On your report page in the Filters panel, when your table visual is selected, you should see the option to add a Filter to one of your measures.  Just set it to greater than 0 (for the positive table) and "Apply Filter".  Duplicate the table (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V) and filter the new one for <0 (negative).

 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

@BigTommy ,
If you need to create 2 visualizations (tables) - one showing positive values, second showing negative values, use @mahoneypat 's approach.
If you need to create separate tables (not visualization, but for modelling), you can used Dax for creating dynamic tables.
Formula: 

TableNegative = FILTER('Table',[variance]<0)
* [variance] is a measure

Hi @BigTommy ,
In Power Query you can make 2 new tables making reference to existing table. Right click on table and choose reference.
And in each of these 2 new tables add filter on variance column (first table filtering variance > 0, second table filtering variance < 0).
You can also make 2 new tables using Dax: 

PositiveValues = FILTER('Table','Table'[% variance]>0)
NegativeValues = FILTER('Table','Table'[% variance]<0)
Cheers,
Nemanja



Thank you for quick response!

 

Forgot to mention thet the % variance and euro variance is a measure. 

 

when I try use your method I have comment 

 

"The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value"
