Hi friends,
I tried but couldn't figure it out, I have this calculation below which i would like to
1. add the "+" sign for positive variance. so made the change (in red) for my formula and it returns error as it couldn't display.
2. be able to condition format the number , Green if it is positive surplus and red if it is negative.
| Entity Name | Operating Suplus CY | Operating Surplus PY |
| FE56bane Gi367BC | 3.3M | 4.1M |
| FE56hampton367BC | -0.1M | 1.4M |
| FE56ich Gir367BC | 1.4M | -0.2M |
| FE56ich Gra367BC | -1.0M | 0.4M |
| FE56oomba G367BC | -1.6M | 0.2M |
| sbanema | 2.0M | 8.3M |
Operating Surplus_CY =
VAR OP_CY =
FORMAT(
CALCULATE(
SUM(Sheet1[Value]),
'End Year'[End Year]
),
"#,##0,.0M")
Return
if(OP_CY > 0, "+"&OP_CY,OP_CY")
Any kind help is much appreciated

Hi, @Anonymous
Please try formula as below:
calculated column:
Operating Surplus_CY =
FORMAT (
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sheet1[Value] ), 'End Year'[End Year] ),
"+#,##0,.0M;-#,##0,.0M"
)
measure (conditional formatting)
Conditional fomatting =
IF (
[Operating Suplus CY] > 0,
"lightgreen",
[Operating Suplus CY] < 0, "red" )
)

@Anonymous , Try like
Operating Surplus_CY =
VAR OP_CY =
CALCULATE(
SUM(Sheet1[Value]),
'End Year'[End Year]
)
var _2 = format(OP_CY,"#,##0,.0M")
Return
if(OP_CY > 0, "+"& _2, _2)
