Plotting variance visual irrespective if negative or positive value

Hi everyone,

 

Really need your help with this one. I am trying to plot the variance for the two tabs in the below (Actual/Budget varaince and Budget/Forecast variance). I need to plot so that it will show me variance irrespestive if its a negative or positive number, so in this example it should give me a bargraph in ascending order of -5K, 4K, $3K, -2K and $1K. I have attached the files.

Hi, @PXJ99 

 

You can try the following methods.

Column:

ABS = ABS([Variance])

Select the State column to sort by ABS column.
