How do you show negative number in matrix without subtracting from the total

Hello, I am not sure how to write DAX for my calculation needed in a matrix.  I am showing figures within a group some of the figures are negative numbers.  It appears the matrix will add all the numbers and then subtract the negative value from the total.  This is not what I want.  I want to show the negative value but I do not want the negative value to be subtracted from the positive values. 

Here is my sample 

Fund TypeSegment Donor FlowYearSum of DonorsColumn1     The total comes out as 20465 which is not correct.  The matrix is totaling all positive numbers and then subtracting the negative number in red.  I would also like to highlight the negative numbers in red in the matrix.                     

26582 This is the correct total I want to see in the Matrix

Total                                                         20465 Wrong Total 

Correct Total should be 26,582

Hi,

Share some data to work with (in a format that can be pasted in an MS Excel file).  At the very least, ensure that the columns have proper headings.

Hi,

These measures work

D = sum(Data[Donors])

Measure = if(ISINSCOPE(Data[Year]),[D],SUMX(FILTER(Data,[D]>0),[D]))

Hope this helps.

Ashish, 

The measure works, however, it removes by negative number.  I would like for my negative number to show in the matrix.

Ashish, 

Thank you for your assistance.  I got it to work by changing the Year filter to Donor Flow.

You are welcome.
