Using a Multiplier to Construct Financial Statements

[ShrimpSurf]

I am realitively new to Power BI.   I am attempting to use a multiplier (negative if expense) to construct an income statement.  It appears to work at the bottom level of the grouping, however the sub totals are wildly exaggerated.  Attached is an example of the problem, along with the table.   I'm hoping it's a simple formula error. Please help.

And please provide the correct value you want based on the sample picture, thank you.

This measure will not work like that. Use should use SUMX instead in this case.

But you can create calculated column in your table like this:

InvertedAmount$ = Financials[Multiplier] * Financials[Dollars] 

And then you can create a measure like $ = SUM(Financials[InvertedAmount$])

Appreciate your Kudos !!!
