Solved it

Value Formated = IF(TRIM('FACT Past Dues'[REGION])="Past Due %" ||
TRIM('FACT Past Dues'[Periods])="Jan 20 Act %" ||
TRIM('FACT Past Dues'[Periods])="Feb 20 Act %",
FORMAT('FACT Past Dues'[Value],"0.0%;(0.0%)"),
IF(TRIM('FACT Past Dues'[Periods])="Jan Act vs. Goal 2.0% (Fav / Unfav)" ||
TRIM('FACT Past Dues'[Periods])="Feb Act vs. Goal 2.0% (Fav / Unfav)",
FORMAT('FACT Past Dues'[Value],"0.0;(0.0) pts"), FORMAT('FACT Past Dues'[Value], "0.0;(0.0)")))
