Formula Issue in Deski Report

Question

I need to create a formula in deski reports to sum up the column specific records Excluding Negative values.
i.e., If there are negative values in the column , then they should show in the column but when sum is calculated , negative value should not be included in that....!!
e.g.,,
Column1   Column2   Column3
a                23              13                
b               -16               3
c                10               -7
Total        33               16
        (excludes -16)    (excludes -7)
I have tried these combinations but in vain.....
1) = If Sign(column value name) <> -1 Then Sum(column value name)
2) =If (column value name >= 0) Then Sum(column value name)
Else Sum(column value name) = Sum(column value name) - (column value name)
Please help asap.... Thanks in advance

Hi
Try below.
Create two variables\formulas as per requirement
1. For totals without negative values
=Sum(if (Column2) >= 0 Then Column2 Else 0)
2. For totals only with negative values
=Sum(if (column2) <= 0 Then column2 Else 0)
