Measure returns incorrect total

‎02-09-2023 05:23 PM

Hi

I am trying to solve this issue with my measure where I am multiplying the sum by -1 to make it positive for certain line items that are in the data with negative values. However the measure is still summing the values with the negative numbers but in the matrix you can see that the numbers are positive. 

Any ideas as to why this is happening?
