    Hi BigTommy ,

     

    I created a test column with negative values in it and have formatted them as shown below:

     

    The column I created for formatting the negative values is as follows:

    NegFormat = FORMAT(Negative[values], "##,###.###0;(##,###0.###0)")
     
    Use your column name in above dax expression.
     
    Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
     
    Thanks,
    Pragati

    Hi BigTommy ,

     

    Modify the dax as shown in the below screenshot:

    I have tried this on POUND currency, you can do similar for EUR currency.

     

     Regarding your , and . issue, check your regional settings as shown below:

    The higlighted decimal symbol at my end is "."

    At your end I think it is ",", therefore you are seeing the difference. Modifying this should resolve your issue.

     

    THanks,
