Phone Number Formatting

Hello Forum Team!

How do I get the 12 digit formats in my Power BI table to be formatted using the country code? Example: #52 (123) 456-7890? If I have another country that uses a 3-digit country code. How do I override the custom format I just made? Currently the colums are saved as text. Thank  you!
