    You have put all of your parentheses at the end! Try:

    Hope this helps!

The formatting is not included in the actual Measure. You can simply select the measure in your Fields pane, and then modify the formatting on the Modeling tab > Formatting.

    I am not sure what you are asking. Are you looking for how to create Conditional Formatting(i.e. text or background changes color based on the value), or are you wondering how to create the whole combination of graphics in your screenshot?

      conditional formatting is something i am aware, if you noticed in the pic, there is some indicators(up & down in triangle shape), how can we build that indicators in the table?

        Sure!, take a look at this link from Curbal.com, and see if this is what you needed.
