Hi, 

I assume the table contains more than one column, and I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

expected result measure: = 
VAR _condition =
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[trans_status] )
VAR _resultcondition =
    DIVIDE ( _condition, _condition )
RETURN
    _resultcondition
        * SWITCH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[trans_status] ), "Sales", 1, "Refund", -1, 0 )

Yes, there was an issue in Refund section, rather than " i typed ).

Fixed here:
WITHOUT Total:

Measure=
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[trans_status] ),
    SWITCH ( MAX ( 'Table'[trans_status] ), "Sales", 1, "Refund", -1, 0 )
)

Hi @InsightSeeker 

 

Try this measure:
Measure = 
SWITCH (MAX( 'Table'[trans_status]),
"Sales",1,
"Refund",-1,
0
)

 

if you want to show nothing in total section if using this measure:

Measure = 

IF (
HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[trans_status] ),
SWITCH (MAX( 'Table'[trans_status]),
"Sales",1,
"Refund",-1,
0
)
)
