How to replace negative values into brackets without "Format" function?
Hi All,
I am facing issue while replacing negative values into brackets. I am using sig fig conversion in my measure that is not working while using this format function on it. Please help.

Hi prakash11440278 ,
I think you might change your Data type to whole number or decimal number as follows, then you could select custom format.
