How to Calculate Absolute Sum

We have a table with data and we are going to calculate the absolute SUM for [sum] column.

 
We divide this into two parts. First of all, we SUM all positive values with the formula

([Total sum],[sum1])

 The first argument is a SUM and second is a filter

With the help of it, we select all positive values.

The second part of the formula will be 

ABS(([Total sum],[sum1]))

The first argument is the SUM of the values, the second filter of all negative values

And all this calculation wraps with the function ABS (you can read more here).

The whole formula will have a look:

([Total sum],[sum])+ABS(([Total sum],[sum1]))

And the final result of it will be 5
