Formatting for Simple Waterfall

I am using the Simple Waterfall visual that I downloaded from the AppSource. I am showing an example of what I am looking at below. This looks good, however I want to show these numbers with a $ sign and a ( ) instead of a negative sign.Power BI Waterfall.jpg

The problem is that my measures do this when I put the format for both measures in $ Currency General, set the decimal places to Auto, and switch the value format to None for the visual... How do I fix this?

I want to have "Auto" for decimal places, because the value can flucutate from thousands to millions.

Can you post a sample data or pbix so I can test. I am think you might need to use format() to change the format of the data.

@Anonymous Here you go. See page 2 within .pbix file for the visual. The folder with the .pbix is below. Format() does not work for the waterfall, since the waterfall does not support text. Since Format() creates a text, it also does not filter out categories that do not have values and are blank.
