 Why are you using a!currency() if you don't actually want the output in currency? 
 If you just need the output formatted with commas and a fixed decimal, just use " fixed() ". 
 As I mentioned before, you can get the absolute value of the input number using "abs()". 
 
 fixed( abs(-152552.774), 2, false() ) 
 
 As I always say - the Functions Doc Page is your friend!! Keep it open in a browser tab!

If you're looking for the Absolute Value of a number, there's already an Appian function for that:
