    Try to adjust your measure to below:

     

    Output = 
VAR FindOutput =
    IFERROR ( SEARCH ( "Output", [Results],, 1 ), 1 )
VAR FindValue =
    IFERROR ( SEARCH ( "Value", [Results], FindOutput, 1 ), 1 )
VAR FindColon =
    IFERROR ( SEARCH ( ":", [Results], FindValue, 1 ), 1 )
VAR FindComma =
    IFERROR ( SEARCH ( ",", [Results], FindColon, 1 ), 1 )
VAR temp =
    VALUE ( FindComma - FindColon - 3 )
RETURN
    IF (
        IFERROR ( INT ( MID ( [Results], VALUE ( FindColon + 2 ), temp ) ), BLANK () )
            <> BLANK (),
        FORMAT ( MID ( [Results], VALUE ( FindColon + 2 ), temp ), "Fixed" ),
        BLANK ()
    )

     

    Final get :

     

    Wish it is helpful for you!

     

    Best Regards
