How to display negative figures as positive

Hi Power BI community, i currently use Microsoft dynamics navision as my data source in power bi. 

 

i am building a dashboard based on some profit and loss GL accounts and with revenue, the numbers display as negative due to them being posted as Credits in the finance software. however i want to present this to non-finance people and do not want to confuse them with the negative numbers. 

 

how can i flip the signage to change from negative values to positive?

please advise

Thanks

Simply make a measure and put in your Credit Score inside an abs function 

 

 

Credit Score = abs(Your_Table[Credit_Score])

 

 

This will convert every non-negative number to a positive number. Now, instead of using your "Credit Score" attribute in your dashboards, use this measure.
