Can I show positive (instead of negative) numbers in red?

I have a table that shows YoY comps as a percentage for four different metrics. For three of the metrics, negative is bad and positive is good. For the fourth metric, negative is good and positive is bad. I found the option to "Show Negative Numbers in Red", which works correctly for three of the rows but not the fourth.

Is there a way for me to have only one row be opposite of normal with positive numbers in red?

    @Alex_K You can do this by adding HTML to your metric in a beast mode like this:

    case 
  when `Sales` > 0 then concat('<div style="color: #f00">',`Sales`,'</div>')
  else concat(`Sales`,'')
end

    Here is a knowledge base article on how that works: https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360043430033?language=en_US

    You can actually use color rules to do this and not lose the formatting you are applying to the cell. Create a color rule, select a color and set the opacity to zero, then select the table text to be the text choice in the middle and unselect the apply format to table row.
