Need Help

‎03-22-2020 06:47 AM

Hello everyone,
I have a little problem...
I'm having a bit of trouble in the new version to solve this.
I'm trying to multiply one column by minus 1 to make all the minuses a plus.
can anyone help me?

Can you just use ABS function? ABS([Column])

Maybe I did not explain myself well, I want to exchange signs
Instead of minus plus
And instead of a plus minus

 

Thanks for your time

second column = [first column] * -1

You could actually prevent the need for this entirely within your data model by multiplying the value by -1 in the data transformation process
