Negative Numbers

Hi,

 

I'm trying to add a minus sign or  Parenthesis to the neagative numbers in a measure on my table visual.

Do i need to do it through DAX? beacuse i don't find a way to do it on the report..

 This is the muesure:

Change From PM = IF([Total Reports] = [DIFF from PM],BLANK(), [Total Reports] - [Reports Previous month])
 
Help will be much appreciated!

Hi @SHAKEDALROY ,

 

Can you share your measures to us? There are other rows show negative numbers, the problem may be on the measure.

 

Best Regards,

@SHAKEDALROY Can you share an image of what you are trying to do? and how you want the output to be?

 

 

@LP2803 for ex - the second line in the Change From PM column is a negative number but it doesn't show it.

it suppused to be -24,986 or (24,986)

I'm unable to produce your issue with my sample data.

 

But I think this might help

= Format([Measure],"#,##.#0;(#,##.#0)")

Make sure that you are not using ABS (Absolute) in meausre
