If you give someone a fish then you only give them one meal, but if you teach them how to fish then they can feed themselves and teach others for a lifetime. I prefer to teach members on this forum techniques rather give full solutions and do their job. You can then adapt the technique for your solution, learn some DAX skills for next time and soon become a Power BI Super User like me.
One question per ticket please. If you need to extend your request then please raise a new ticket.
You will get a quicker response and each volunteer solver will get the kudos they deserve. Thank you !

In the example you provided the format was
snnpnnncnn where s is sign and p is period and c is a comma and n is number
for example -74.505,74
the solution I provide works and I provided an example proving it works,
You have now change the rules to
sncnnn.nn
for example -6,570.54
if you are wanting to combine
snnpnnncnn and sncnnn.nn in the same file for example
-74.505,74
-6,570.54
then that is a new problem.
please raise new ticket and provide the correct example data next time,
otherwise it wastes your time and my time.
the solution I provide works, I provide an example proving it work, and I will therefore accept the solution
Sorry if that seem harsh but you asked the wrong question but I gave the right answer.
So this problem is closed. Please raise a new ticket wit the correct examples and I will be happy to help.
