    Those need to be separate values, and you add them using the Reference Labels or Details. 

    If you want them as one string, you could use the FORMAT function. Example:

    FORMAT([The Measure], "#.0%") & " " & FORMAT([The Measure], "(#.0%")

     

    That would add the same measure formatted two ways. You cannot format one measure with a string two different ways and get it to show twice. The FORMAT() function will let you be as detailed as you like and allow you to repeat the same thing different ways.

Thank you edhans! I think I am on September 2023 version but I'm having trouble updating to a newer verison currently. 

 

Using the older version, I could see (30%) but is there a way to also see the count in the front? showing 3 (30%) instead. 

Thank you!

I would use the format method I showed for the measure and not what is in the card viz. If you are on Sept and seeing that it looks like that has been removed from December, which makes sense, formats should belong to measures, or be dynamic within the measure.

That said, the format string I put above should work wherever format strings are available, and it turned the -0.3 in my data to the (30%) format you wanted.
