Hi Anonymous ,

 

When you have your measure up go to the Modeling tab and select the format for your measure.

 

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

Anonymous ,

or use Format

if you use DAX to create a measure for the field you are using you can wrap that in the format function, e.g.

Measure = FORMAT( SUM( Table[Sales]), $#,##0;($#,##0) )

 

The format function can take user defined formats as shown above (above is brackets for negative, comma separated dollar format.
For a bigger list of user defined function see here:
