Hello Anonymous !

 I'm suffering from the same issue, but it has to be without any currency sign in my case, do you have any other suggestions about that? I was looking for any DAX formula to round it or I don't know basically for getting rid of these thousands of zeros... 
(by the way, I didn't understand why it's between parenthesis)

and here are the amounts in my column;

If you have any other solution, that would be really really helpful for me 🙏

 

Thank you very much in advance!
